Slide shows: Turn It Up: When Music Biopics Get It Right
Music biopics are tricky. You have to capture the sound, the swagger, the mess, and the magic without turning real lives into cheesy karaoke. From classical legends to hip-hop pioneers, stadium gods, and cult heroes, these 30 musical biopics actually stick the landing.
Selena (1997)
Jennifer Lopez gives a breakout performance as Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla, bringing warmth, humor, and stage charisma to a story that still stings. The film celebrates family, hustle, and a cross-cultural sound that moved arenas. It honors Selena’s legacy while showing how fame, community, and identity intertwined in her rise.
Ray (2004)
Jamie Foxx does not imitate Ray Charles, he inhabits him, from the piano phrasing to the swagger and vulnerabilities. The film tracks Charles’s hard-won artistry alongside addiction, business savvy, and boundary-breaking genre blends. Foxx’s turn earned him the Oscar for Best Actor, and the movie set a high bar for musician biopics.
Notorious (2009)
A vivid snapshot of Christopher Wallace’s short, seismic run as The Notorious B.I.G., this one leans into the craft and contradictions. The music hits, the Brooklyn world feels lived-in, and the film shows how talent, loyalty, and pressure collided. It honors the artist without sanding off the edges that shaped him.

Another slide show: Not All Musician Biopics are Awful – These Are the Nine Best
It feels like nearly every pop star in history is clamouring for a biopic. Just take a look at those currently in the works: The Beatles (with their four-part Sam Mendes-directed opus); Michael Jackson (pushed back to next year due to legal difficulties); Madonna (in painfully slow development since 2020); Ozzy Osbourne, whose “raw” biopic is due in 2027. [Out now] will see Jeremy Allen White play Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me from Nowhere. The list is substantive and ever-growing. And who can blame them? Since the blockbuster success of 2018’s Queen epic Bohemian Rhapsody – £700m takings at the box office – the bottom line is too large to ignore. Subsequent high-profile biopics Rocketman (Elton John), Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis and the Timothée Chalamet-starring A Complete Unknown (Bob Dylan) have all grossed in excess of £100m, feeding into the modern celeb-obsessed culture. For artists, the chance to embellish their own legend while raking in the cash is a no-brainer; for actors, the chance to star in a film that revolves almost entirely around the famous lead – which has invariably proved catnip for the Oscars – is too good to turn down. The history of the biopic is mixed, but for every hackneyed, diluted take (Bob Marley: One Love, we’re looking at you) there are many fine examples. Here are some of the best currently streaming in the UK…
