Movies Fav Performance By Actor/Actress Portraying Famous Musician

[GoodBadHBK]

I left 1 option available in the poll for any suggestions.


My Opinion: Laurence & Angela gave the best performances as a duo in a film.

Jamie Foxx probably gave the most authentic and accurate performance as Ray Charles

My favourite? Val as Jim. I've been a huge doors fan for many many many years and I thought he gave a close to perfect performance.

The 4 i enjoyed the most would be Val, Austin, Larry & Angela. I really think Larry & Angela both should have won oscars for their performances.

Which is your favourite?

Please add Lou Diamond Phillips in La Bamba, that is such an amazing movie, saw it in theaters when I was a kid and I have loved it ever since
What a beautiful performance and heartbreaking movie

Lou Diamond Phillips as Ritchie Valens in La Bamba was good.

Beat me to it. I drove my gf at the time insane because I sang that song all the time when the movie came out.

I'll be the first and only person who picks James Cagney in Yankee Doodle Dandy, the GOAT musical.

Ever since I saw this movie, I've wished I could tap dace so I could descend stairs like this:

I just watched the final scene two times in a row, still makes me mist up every time, such a beautiful scene and they chose the perfect piece of music to close it out, Sleepwalk by Santo & Johnny, its haunting as it stirs up all that heartbreaking emotion

Forrest Whitaker as jazz great Charlie Parker in....The Bird (nickname)

Cagney. He played a great tough guy but was also a phenomenal song and dance man. He moves well in The Footlight Parade as well. On a side note, would recommend The Strawberry Blonde, White Heat, and The Roaring Twenties. Dude had range.

Hey, now there's two of us Cagney fans in the poll

Lol indeed.

 

[BB in Crazy!!!!]

John C. Riley as Dewey Cox in Walk Hard.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Hulce would be my second. He's great as Mozart and Amadeus is underrated these days imo.

Also agree with BB up there. Riley does a great job spoofing Cash and all the old rock musicians. He's actually in a country band and I got to see him live years ago covering old Buck Owens and Hank Snow tunes. Talented and funny dude.
