Not sure why people want to watch these biog films to be honest. What is exciting about the life of a business man?

A film about the life of a rock star or film star whose life was full of controversy and an early death due to drugs, suicide or murder is a fun story.
A film about a bloke who made loads of money by being the head of a computer company? No thank you.
Can someone please tell me something exciting that happens in the movie that made you think WOW I love hollywood movies? I mean does he start flying, does he create a giant robot that saves the city from monsters? Does he go into space? Does he get chased through caverns by a giant bolder and almost loses his hat? Does he find the map to one eyed willys lost treasure?

As for commodore being missed out, there was a tv movie by the BBC about Sinclair and Acorn a couple of years ago and from that film you could of thought that the only 8 bits of note in the 80s were the Sinclair Amstrad and Acorn. They missed out the fact that Commodore was dominating the market.

I would watch an Amiga movie if it was a story about a boy growing up in the late 80's and early 90's who loves playing games and he imagines he is in a computer game when in real life situations so the film keeps changing from live action to amiga (amiga style) game footage.

I would not watch a film about some guy who works for Commodore and he makes money out of the Amiga

Micromen yes. I didn't want them to go overboard with commodore references just a bigger mention.

I`m from England and the shops had a lot more games with the red band than with the yellow or orange ones
