Now, because of the great matches that could be made.

The more I read about this mysterious guy, the more fascinated I become.
Until recently, I didn't even know who he was.
Found out more about him thru a great book I am reading now (not his bio or life story btw)and am convinced he deserves a movie.No matter your opinion of the guy, he has had one glamorous and interesting life.

Think of a Goodfellas (my 2nd fave film) meets Charlie Wilson's War with a touch of Bond thrown in for good measure. -

I'll second a Gary Cooper movie though I wonder about Ewan MacGregor playing himI like Renee Zellwegger playing Doris Day. The one that stopped me cold was Justin Timberlake as Fred Astaireyou're serious? Why Justin Timberlake?

A TV movie was made about Louis Armstrong was made back in the late 70's early 80's with Ben Vereen playing him, but I think Satchmo is worthy of a theatrical biopic. Gary Oldman as Karl Marx sounds like an awesome idea.

I'd love to see Debra Messing in a biopic about Lucille Ball.I'm thinking maybe Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Alfred Hitchock? I think Phil Hartman's life would make a really great movie, though I'm drawing a blank on casting. There was a film made circa 1976 called WC FIELDS AND ME which focused on WC Fields and his relationship with mistress Carla Menotti. Rod Steiger played Fields and Valerie Perrine played Carlotta. A movie about Ray Combs might be interesting, but if it were done, it would be done for TV, not a theatrical film. I don't see a film being done about Gene Wilder while he's alive. I love the idea of a film about Joe Namath, who would you cast in that one? As much as I loved Charles Nelson Reilly, I can't see his appeal being strong enough to merit a biopicif they did, like Combs, it would be for TV only.

I agree with Isaac5855 about a Lucille Ball, but I think There is one person that could play her brilliantly,.. Fran Drescher, I saw her take her off in an episode of "The Nanny." I would guess she is a big fan of hers anyway, judging by many of her facial expressions and actions.

Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes- Kyla Pratt. Her age bares no meaning over her career, because she hasn't saw much physical change. She's still getting cast as a teenager, because she still looks young enough to play one, even though she's almost a 30 year old mom. She needs to do a biopic about Lisa Lopes A.S.A.P. I don't care if the movie is theatrical or made for tv, she's perfect for the role, and I wish someone else took notice while she still has a babyface and a miniature voice.
