I've not even seen Christiane F., but yet I feel compelled to endorse that one just because of a fan-made trailer.

"Good Morning, Vietnam" is another good one. Honestly, there are a lot of great options, so folks might want to place forensic/historical accuracy above the feelings acquires from observation.

@Dibyayan_Chakravorty,

A matter of preference, but I like the use of the hyphenated top-rated better, your call though.

Which of these 35 top-rated biopics of the 1980s is your favorite?

Great List, I will point out Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986) is loosely based, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985) is largely fictionalized and a couple others stray from their real-life stories.

But, all these biographical movies take liberties and I think all thirty-five options technically qualify as biopics. So, I think your poll suggestion is solid.

Please change the "Poll Suggestion" to "Live Poll" in the discussion thread title and change the settings so that it appears under "Praise" now, rather than "Idea."
