Since the release of Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman, a trend for music biopics has been on the rise. In honor of the Elton John instant classic, here are our favorite music biopics of all time.

Sid and Nancy

There’s drama, romance, and angry punk music. This passionate drama tells the story of The Sex Pistols through the most infamous couple in rock ‘n’ roll.

The Runaways

If you’re a girl and play guitar, we’d bet on the fact that you watched this and had an overwhelming urge to start a band. It’s raunchy, exciting and tells the story of the game-changing women in rock ‘n’ roll.

Control

The Joy Division biopic is as dark and stylistic as the band itself. The film is in black and white and captures the moody essence of their music.

Nowhere Boy

Julia Bird’s memoir of her brother John Lennon makes for a heartfelt biopic starring Aaron Johnson as the legendary Beatle.

Bird

One of the best biopics of all time is the Oscar-winning story of Charlie Parker. The film delves into his depression and addiction struggles while celebrating his contribution to the jazz world.

What’s Love Got To Do With It

Angela Bassett does a stunning job portraying Tina Turner in this thrilling and emotional biopic. It’s no wonder she was nominated for an Oscar for her performance.

8 Mile

Eminem plays Jimmy “B-Rabbit” Smith a sort-of-biopic of his own life. He won an Oscar for Best Original Song and told the story of a white rapper who becomes a rap superstar.

Rocketman

After watching Taron Egerton’s portrayal of the Elton John we never knew, the lively and energetic feature has risen to the top of our list.

Releasing a biopic proves to be one of the best ways to renew interest in your music. Members of Mötley Crüe just learned how profitable this move can be after Netflix’s film The Dirt led ta a massive increase in their album sales.

The Dirt premiered on the streaming service on March 22 to mixed reviews, but that didn’t stop it from attracting viewers. Those who saw it were hypnotized by Mötley Crüe’s most iconic songs, and wanted to hear more of them after the movie was over.

Streaming numbers have gone through the roof as a result of the film. All the major streaming services, including Spotify and Deezer, recorded a huge jump in daily streams after the film came out. Same goes for iTunes, where sales have soared by 2,000 percent!

Director Jeff Tremaine understands where this fascination with Mötley Crüe is coming from, saying he also gained a new appreciation of their music while making The Dirt.

“I didn’t come into this as a super-fan, but I’m leaving it a super-fan of their music. As a filmmaker, I have to hear those songs so many goddamn times that I should be sick of them. But I’m not. I actually like them more than ever. Their music holds up,” explained Tremaine.
