What Parker Tyler would term "plastic imagination" is in evidence in these films to varying degrees, as are hints of the kind of melodrama one would associate with artist biopics. Fortunately there are documentaries and two fictional artists in this list as well. All are worth seeing.

3. CARAVAGGIO (1986) director: Derek Jarman
4. POLLACK (2000) director: Ed Harris
5. MR. TURNER (2014) director: Mike Leigh
