It's hard to believe that it took until the 1970s for Hollywood for figure out that biographical pictures might sell tickets. Think of all the folks who could be the subjects of such films....Glenn Miller, Alexander Graham Bell, Louis Pasteur, Red Nicholls, Michelangelo, Benny Goodman, Alvin York, Audie Murphy....

Some more suggestions: Dustin Hoffman in All the President's men, Helen Mirren in the Queen, Leo Dicaprio in the Aviator, Kurt Russel in Miracle, Dennis Quaid in The Rookie. Great quiz.

@NotBurt: I'm not even going to ask if you're kidding; the fact that you cited so many examples should make it painfully obvious.

I think he was riffing on the fact that it skews towards newer pictures, despite the number of old biopics out there. Though I think Audie Murphy as Audie Murphy would be a funny addition.
