What are some of your recommendations for biopics of real-life women?
This topic is intended to be year round and refer to any era or country.
It is inspired by the fact that today is International Women's Day but make no mistake, this is a thread about movie portrayals of women in all aspects of life whose lives have been captured on screen. Sometime biopics are accurate, sometimes they are influenced by the era in which they were made and what was allowed to be shown on the screen at that time.
Furthermore, sometimes the autobiographies upon which they are based are biased, such as Anna L. perhaps increasing the actual influence she had on the Siamese King.
Some biopics that come to mind that I recommend are:
Blossoms in the Dust
The Nun's Story
I'll Cry Tomorrow
With a Song in My Heart
Love Me or Leave Me
Smash Up: The Story of a Woman
The King and I as well as Anna and the King
