Doesn’t necessarily mean biopics of course, simply any film with someone’s name, either in part or full, in the title.

Ooh, now that I’m thinking of it, that’s hard.
There are a lot of great movies where the character is referenced, but not by name. “The Illusionist” “The Night Listener”, what have you. But an actual character’s name?
Uhm…
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
