What's everyone's fave film that was made in memory of a singer or actor? I like all the films in the list, but my most fave is Moonlight Mile (2002).

The Doors (1991)

La Bamba

Selena. It's my favorite movie of all time. But La Bamba's good too.

I chose other , my fav is The Buddy Holly Story

I also chose other, for The Buddy Holly Story. Gary Busey rocked!

Introducing Dorothy Dandridge and La Bamba also get my vote.

I haven't seen many, but I thought 'Me and My Shadows: life with Judy Garland' was a really great film. Alicia Witt was brilliant as a young Judy Garland.

"The Karen Carpenter Story" (it made me fall in love with her and the music!)

Ooh, good one. I can't believe I didn't think of that one first

BTW, it was Tammy Blanchard who played young Judy, but I agree, she was fantastic. My personal favorite thing about that movie was Hugh Laurie as Vincente Minnelli

Selena was really good. On top of that it was pre J LO.

the only thing I dislike about biopics (La Bamba and Selena come t mind) is that they never deal with the aftermath of their deaths. The characters have been established, yet in Selena, all we see is the actors crying when they find out she's dead. No... after Selena died, this happened to ___, that happened to ___. Same with La Bamba. His brother and mother were just as fleshed out, but as soon as Richie dies, all you do is see his older brother stand out on the hill and screams his name. Nothing else about the aftermaths. We grew interested in these characters as well in biopics that it would've been very nice to know what happened to these supporting characters.
