ill go ahead and let 8 Mile count as its Eminem's story, minus the names. ALL these movies fabricate the truth so ill give 8M a pass. it's not bad.
All Is By My Side <i realized i got the title wrong now> is godawful but worth 1 viewing to see Andre nail the Hendrix performance.
Ray/WTL are pretty vanilla imo, but i guess it's cuz i've never had any real connection to Cash's music and i like Ray's but i'm not really seeking it out, ever. Foxx kills it as Ray but WTL i'm just meh about.
If i don't connect with the music <or just the story of NWA cuz i love Ice Cubes' career in general> i don't really care about a biopic. I gave Amadeus a chance as it was streaming and loved it, despite how annoying a twat Amadeus was portrayed as. I suppose it's a life-to-death story as most of these biopics are but i count it in the same way i'd count Love and Mercy even if it just skips to the "were already famous now heres the rest of the story from this point on" storyline. Or Nowhere Boy being about Lennon pre-Beatles. Killing Bono would count as it's not U2's story but Neil's.
why do you hate the Doors movie? cuz it's not the real story? i think the film is fine and is def Kilmer's best role.
