We’re back!

A biopic is a film which aims to tell a life story, usually of a historical figure and/or or celebrity in one sphere or another.  The most popular examples include Ghandi, Lawrence of Arabia, Malcolm X and Schindler’s List, with The Theory of Everything, Raging Bull and Amadeus also featuring. You could claim they are filmed biographies, or set out to be.
