I’ve really enjoyed several of the films on that list. But my favorite musical biopic is actually a documentary: Thunder Soul, about a groundbreaking high school band director in the 1970s. It shows how he and his students smashed society’s expectations in that era, and the enormous and enduring influence he had on their lives. Tremendously moving and inspiring — plus it features lots of funky music.
