Which music biopic actually did justice to the artist's story?

Rami Malek's performance as Freddie Mercury had people genuinely emotional, even if a few Queen fans had notes about the timeline. Either way, that Live Aid sequence alone was worth the price of a ticket.

Rather than playing it straight, Rocketman leaned into the theatrics and told Elton's story through his own songs as surreal set pieces. Bold, camp, and absolutely committed — just like the man himself.

This 2007 film about Joy Division's Ian Curtis is beautifully shot and deeply affecting, capturing the bleakness of late-70s Manchester with real care. Probably not your Friday night feel-good watch, but unforgettable.

Okay, it's more of a love letter than a strict biopic, but this British film uses The Beatles' catalogue to ask a genuinely lovely what-if question. Charming, warm, and guaranteed to have you humming for days.

Amy Winehouse's story was told so intimately in this 2015 documentary that it sits comfortably alongside the fiction films. With her back catalogue woven throughout, it's as much a celebration as it is heartbreaking.
