That's what Rick Moran suggests over at American Thinker today:

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/200 ... _thei.html
Lewis speculated on which conservatives might be the subject of a biopic and chose Whittaker Chambers, William Buckley, and the Duke LaCrosse team. While these are excellent choices, I'm sure you and I could come up with a few others.

Here are my 3 choices:

1. Milton Friedman
2. Ayn Rand
3. Jerry Falwell

Friedman led a fascinating life beyond academics while Rand was founder of an entire philosophy. Fallwell's movie would have to be done by someone who wouldn't be a knee jerk anti-Christian but might be the best subject due to his extraordinary rise from literally nothing to a conservative force.

I'm sure you have your own suggestions. Fire away.

Billy Graham had a great life, and that didn't translate well to the screen.

Possibly, but I have no confidence whatsoever that anyone who'd be interested has the storytelling and filmmaking skills necessary to pull it off. That just means you'd get a small-time version of a big-time man, or a stereotypical Hollywood portrayal of him. Better left alone, I'd say.

The right filmmaker could make a good movie of it. Like scorcho said, the question is whether anyone with the capabilities would be interested.

Perhaps a more interesting question......................... if it were made, who would play Doc? If it were a full biopic, you'd need at least 3 actors for different ages, but I'd be interested in what actor people think could play the "mature" JF.

Tommy Lee Jones?
