Ali (2001)
To play Muhammad Ali in this film, Will Smith had to build more muscle, study both boxing and Islam, and immerse himself in the character. It worked since Smith’s role in the biography Ali proved that as a dramatic actor, he had serious mettle. Michael Mann wrote and directed the film, which focused on a specific decade in the famous boxer’s life, from 1964 to 1974. It may have been a short period, but it encompassed a lot. Ali recaptured his title from Sonny Liston, resisted the Vietnam War, and converted to Islam.

My Week With Marilyn (2011)
My Week with Marilyn is centered around a brief period in the life of Marilyn Monroe. The movie stars Michelle Williams as the iconic star while Eddie Redmayne plays her friend Colin Clark, an amateur filmmaker who penned a novel about his experiences that show Monroe around London while she was filming The Prince and the Showgirl. This movie gives us a look at Marilyn behind the legacy that she left behind…not the glamorous and larger-than-life figure everyone knows but instead the real human being who has personal struggles as well as a complex relationship with her fame and image.
