From Bohemian Rhapsody to Rocketman, British biopics have become a showcase for actors channelling legends. Rank these performances by who truly disappeared into the role.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury
An Oscar-winning turn that captured Mercury's swagger and Live Aid magnetism, even if the film itself divided fans and critics.
B
Taron Egerton as Elton John
Egerton sang every note himself, delivering a fantastical, emotionally raw portrait of Elton's rise and struggles.
C
Marisa Abela as Amy Winehouse
A polarising but committed performance, capturing Amy's Camden spirit and vulnerability against a torrent of tabloid noise.
D
Sam Riley as Ian Curtis
Anton Corbijn's black-and-white portrait of the Joy Division frontman remains a haunting benchmark for music biopics.
E
Jonas Åkerlund's Nowhere Boy Aaron Johnson as John Lennon
A young Aaron Taylor-Johnson brought edge and heartbreak to Lennon's Liverpool years before The Beatles took off.
