Which historical figures deserve a biopic?

The new Napoleon biopic is long overdue. It made me realize how many significant historical figures deserve a modern biopic.

Here is a few I thought of:

John Paul Jones - The father of America's Navy and one of the most badass men in US Military history. His life story would make for an incredible action/adventure/war film.

Joan of Arc - A few poorly made films were done before the new millennium, but nothing astounding. The SJWs would probably ruin this film by claiming Joan of Arc identified as a man.

George Washington - The Crossing starring Jeff Daniels was fantastic, but a film covering all of Washington's life is needed.

Robert Moses - The book The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York is one of the most famous biographies of the 20th century. A biopic on Moses has enormous potential with the first half of the film painting Moses as a hero with the massive improvements he brought to New York. The second half would show the dark side of his career and controversial projects, including the Cross Bronx Expressway and his fight with Jane Jacobs over Greenwich Village.

Theodore Roosevelt - supposedly a major motion film starring Leonardo DiCaprio is in the works. IMDB - Roosevelt

Martin Luther - This would ruffle some Catholic feathers, but Luther changed Europe and Christianity forever, regardless what you think of him. There's plenty of biographies and I believe the Lutheran church made a film, but I would prefer this film to be secular and not have Catholic or Protestant bias.

Others: Isaac Newton, Cortes


There's no reason to keep releasing remakes when there are plenty of fascinating characters and legendary stories from history that have yet to be shown on the big screen.
