Was thinking yesterday of movies with real people’s names in the title (excluding biopics like “The Glen Miller Story”, “The Grace Kelly Story”, etc.).
I’ve only managed to come up with:
Being John Malkovich
Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf
Bend it like Beckham
I thought the Dopers could help out…

“No biopics” after “Cleopatra” makes me look like a :wally
“To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything. Julie Newmar”
“Calling Bobcat” (refering to Bobcat Goldthwait)
“My Dinner with Andre” (a bit of a stretch, but still a real person)
Aargh, I know there is at least one or two more that aren’t biopics, but it’s really early in the morning and I can’t think straight.
Searching for Bobby Fischer
Yeah I wondered about that…
Dick (Richard Nixon)
I suppose Erin Brockovich is out?
My first simulpost! And Scarlett , you’re right, I had forgotten that was semi biographical.

Erin Brockovitch… interesting.
Hmm, since I haven’t properly defined my criteria for exceptions, I’ll have to give you a “definitely maybe maybe not I don’t know.”
damn… didn’t read the no biopic rule
