At the very least, *The Passion of Christ* mixes real historical figures with Jesus (whose historical existence is still disputed) and a few others, and is quite grounded. But *300* is a comic-to-film adaptation.

Really stretching the definition of biopic when you’re including a movie based on a comic book and a few others that are more historical fiction than true life stories

How is 300 a biopic? 😭

Never heard of Hi, Mom.

This list is a joke, at least half of it. How can Passion of the Christ be biography if we don’t really have any solid 100% proofs that all depicted in this movie (and in the Bible) really happened? Hi, Mom is semi-autobiographical fantasy movie. If I make a movie about Ghandi in which he is a superhero would that be considered biographical film? And 300??? WTF?

Michael should definitely enter the worldwide top 10 today

*Passion of the Christ* at no. 4 is impressive, considering it released in 2004 and has the highest domestic gross on the list, $370m.

300 and POTC are Biopics? Huh?

The Greatest Showman should not be counted as a biopic.

Michael finishing anywhere in the top 3 would be magnificent

How is The Passion of The Christ biographical? It’s a religious film. There isn’t any historical evidence any of that happened.
And don’t get me started on 300.

What a hilariously dumb list

Why is 300 on the list?
It’s a movie based on a graphic novel, doesn’t even try to be historically accurate, and more of a fictional/ mythological retelling of battle of Thermopylae.
Even the source material says it’s a fictional retelling.
