How could you not mention one of the better movies in the genre, The Glenn Miller Story? Technically, The Buddy Holly Story would also count.

Both excellent films. The Glenn Miller Story, seen when I was perhaps 9-10 years old, launched my life long interest in big band jazz.

While we're at it, the Joaquin Phoenix portrayal of Johnny Cash has much to recommended it.

Amadeus is one of my top-five all-time movies.
