10.) The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)
A poem of a film, The Passion of Joan of Arc set the standard for all biographies made after.
9.) Andrei Rublev (1971)
The Tarkovsky masterpiece on the unconventional experiences of a artistic monk is a film of grand proportions.

8.) The Pianist (2002)
Roman Polanksi's biopic about Polish musician Wladyslaw Szpilman will drain your heart each and every time you watch the film.
7.) An Angel At My Table (1990)
Simply put, An Angel At My table is how one should make a biography about an author. I would be hard pressed to find a more cinematic study of an author than Jane Campion's biopic on Janet Frame.
6.) My Left Foot (1989)
5.) Richard III (1955)
"A donkey, a donkey, my kingdom for a donkey."
4.) The Diving Bell And The Butterfly (2007)
This French stream-of-conscious biopic is a lesson in artistic cinema that left viewers mesmerized upon its release.
3.) Raging Bull (1980)
The black and white story of Ray La Motta made Scorsese a household name and Robert De Niro a man's man actor.
2.) Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
Perhaps the most controversial biopic on the list, the story of T.E. Lawrence burns off the screen with excitement.
1.) Amadeus (1984)
This music heavy biopic is as much about the title character as it is about Antonio Salieri, and its excellent composition earned it a slew of Oscar nods.
Schindler's List (1993)
The King's Speech (2010)
The Social Network (2010)
Moneyball (2011)
