Hilary & Jackie - about famous cellist of the 1960s Jacqueline du Pre. Jackie is played by emily watson.

Kinsey - Liam Neeson plays Dr. Kinsey, the first modern sex researcher of the 1940s and 50s.

Diva - a young man stalks a beautiful opera singer. The role was played by Wilhelmina Wiggins-Fernandez. It was based on a real life stalker of Jessye Norman.

Milk - excellent biography of Harvey Milk, city supervisor of San Francisco, his assassination and the assassination of Mayor Moscone, by Dan White. Uses original news footage of Diane Feinstein announcing the deaths of both men in San Francisco City Hall.
Harvey Milk is played by Sean Penn and Mayor Moscone is played by Victor Garber.

Juarez- Story of Benito Juarez and his revolution in the 1860s; the French import Emperor Maximilian of Austria to rule, and he is a Hapsburg; his wife Carlotta is played by Bette Davis.
