Here’s my picks for the top 15 Black bio-pics films of all time:
#15: Cadillac Records
#14: Notorious
#13: What’s Love Got To Do With It (The Tina Turner Story)
#12: Talk To Me (The Petey Greene Story)
#11: The Pursuit of Happyness
#10: The Temptations
#9: Antwone Fisher
#8: The Ernest Green Story
#7: The Last King of Scotland
