Live Recast Poll: Biographies of Movie Characters

This is a re-creation of a poll by borimor that was published on April 13, 2014.

If movies were real, and you have the choice to select which movie character biography to read, which one would you choose? Remember that biography focuses mainly on obscure parts in the character's life, like his/her childhood or what happens after...

Note: The list does not include characters based on real people.

List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls568035678/

Poll: https://www.imdb.com/poll/TEKhI4duDE0/

@Dibyayan_Chakravorty​ 

Do you mean the title of his biography should be The Usual Suspect?

No I meant Keyser Soze from Usual Suspect would be my pick.

Thanks. I like the first one, but maybe it should be:

The Greatest Story the Devil ever Told

Better: If movies were real, and you had the choice

Also, the options suggest that the poll is about autobiographies, so perhaps it would be helpful to include that word in the text.

I see that a few options are not autobiographical. Perhaps it can say "biography or autobiography".

@Jessica 

This might be a stupid question, but Momma always said "the only stupid question is the one you don't ask".

I get that the list does not include characters based on real people, so it includes only biographies that could have been written by fictional characters. But, I don't get how "Did he earn it?", by John H. Miller get written some fifty years after the author's death.

Maybe, the title & author should be "Did I earn it?", by James F. Ryan.
