A Definitive Ranking Of Black Biopics

How high does your favorite rank?


Man In The Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story


Man In The Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story


Questionably Starring: Flex Alexander as Michael Jackson


Flex Alexander as Michael Jackson never, ever, ever should have happened.


Blueprint Entertainment, Nomadic Pictures / Via youtube.com


King


King


Starring: Paul Winfield as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


Winfield's portrayal of King falls short. Waaaay short.


Filmways Television / Via youtube.com


Winnie Mandela


Winnie Mandela


Starring: Jennifer Hudson as Winnie Mandela, Terrance Howard as Nelson Mandela


Featuring Jennifer Hudson in an uncomfortable Xhosa accent. And why would anyone cast Terrence Howard as Nelson Mandela?


Ironwood Films, Equinoxe Films / Via youtube.com


The Rosa Parks Story


The Rosa Parks Story


Starring: Angela Bassett as Rosa Parks


She certainly looked the part, but the movie itself is a bit forgettable.


Chotzen/Jenner Productions, CBS, Come Sunday, Jaffe/Braunstein Films / Via youtube.com
