There's also the 2007 film, I'm Not There, based on, or I suppose more so inspired by the life of Bob Dylan. He's represented by several different actors playing different characters but still based on Dylan.

Features: Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Marcus Carl Franklin, Ben Whishaw, and Cate Blanchett
