The Marx Brothers (They could even break it down into three [or five] movies.)
T.E. Lawrence (Yeah there is Lawrence of Arabia but he did do more than that.)
Those are the only two I can think of right away but I would probably watch just about any Biopic if I liked the person.

Now that I think about I would also like to see a Harold Lloyd biopic made!

Another Madonna biopic
A Daryl Hall and John Oates biopic-I think Kevin Bacon should play Daryl,as he looks like him,and i think he could play the part,and maybe Robert Downey jr could play John ?.What do you think ?.

So many but right off the top of my head: Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Jimmy Stewart, Merle Haggard

I bet a bipoic on the main actor in this biopic would be prety interestng some day.

Mort Sahl would be really interesting. So many comics owe their life to that guy (even guys like Woody Allen, Lenny Bruce, etc.). He broke down so many barriers as to what comics could joke about, politics being the big one.

Montgomery Clift.

Kubrick!

hhmm
I'd like to see anotherperhaps better? one on James Dean.
Buster Keaton definitely but who would they get to play the great stone face that is the question??
Freddie Mercury too.

The Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello

Robin Williams as Emperor Norton the 1st
Keifer Suthrland as Wilhelm Reich (Donald played him in the music video based on Reich by Kate Bush; Cloudbusting).
Charles Babbage
Jules Verne
Rudyard Kipling
Roald Dahl
Salvador Dali
"IMDB where 14 year olds can pretend to be jaded 40 year old movie critics"

hmmmRobin Williams as Voltaire? I'd watch it!

Well, Socrates
was
in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" (lol).
Also, Voltaire was in the beginning of "Ridicule". Though, I really think that a Voltaire movie could be pretty entertaining he lived through a really volatile period in France (until the Revolution) and he was a pretty big smart-ass, which is always a big draw.
I'm okay with gay marriage, as long a both wizards are hot.

Mine is probably different then most of yours, but I would love to see one about Amy Lee (even if she is alive).
Some Awesome Movies:
Mystic River
Bridge to Terabithia
Hard Candy
Love Actually
The Mist

Seriously? Probably because a "Socrates" or "Nietzche" or "Voltaire" or "Emmanuel Kant" flick or any other feature covering the life of some great philosopher would tank at the box office!
I wouldn't be surprised, though, if men like Socrates or Voltaire have been characters in period movies. But neither of those guys could carry a successful picture on their own.
Philosophers, by and large, have nuanced ideas that don't translate all that well to the big screen. We go to the movies to be ENTERTAINED. If we want to be EDUCATED on what Socrates, Aristotle, etc., believed and taught and how their ideas shaped civilization, we can read a book, watch a documentary or take a college course.
That being said, your idea might work better as a TV series on PBS or the History Channel. A season's worth of hour-long episodes; each episode a mini-biopic of one of the "Great Thinkers"

It would be nice to see a biopic made of one of the great philosophers, like Sokrates, Aristotle or maybe Nietzsche. It's very hard for me to understand why nobody ever makes films about philosophers.
GO VEGAN.

John Wayne
A lot of flaws and political incorecctness balanced with honesty and loyalty. Kind of has the same marital problems Chaplin had and struggled with some of the same battles (military service being one of them).

It seems I'm the only one who's thought about how great it would be to have Jimmy Stewart portrayed in a biopic!
This man had a real and full life even OUTSIDE of making movies (most of them "purdy durn good, fella" as he might put it. He was a war hero (and NEVER bragged about it) and a poet and a good friend, and frequent guest of, Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show."
Stewart, I think, was conservative in his social and political leanings but it is interesting to note that his best friend was Henry Fonda, who was very much a liberal

Ferno de Magalhes
Vasco da Gama
D. Afonso Henriques
Lus Vaz de Cames

Mickey Rourke and James Dean. I know the Dean one has been done several times, but I'm talking about a big screen release with a big star like Leonardo DiCaprio. Maybe have Scorsese direct it. The only one that came close in my mind was James Franco's portrayal.
