Deadman's Curve (about Jan and Dean, and the accident that nearly killed Jan, at...)
Beyond the Sea (Kevin Spacey as Bobby Darin.)
Ray (as in Charles.)
Walk the Line (Johnny Cash was never that handsome.)

The Glenn Miller Story
Another tragedy where so much great music was made and a wonderful artist cut down in his prime.
