Oscar season is here, and it brings with it the promise of real-life stories of famous people, doing the thing that made them famous. There’s no end of examples of the biopic that we could have tied it to, but this particular week it’s the Winston Churchill-during-wartime tale Darkest Hour that’ll do the honors for inspiring our topic. And while national leaders make a good subject for this kind of treatment, we can hardly forget all the musicians, rebels, authors, movie stars, war heroes, athletes, and people suffering from terrible diseases who’ve graced our screens in the past.
In Worth Mentioning, we have you covered with Coco, Justice League and The Girl Without Hands.
