Fiction has without a doubt produced many of the greatest movies of all time the list is nearly endless but sometimes some of the greatest characters were real life men and women.
With that in mind I thought this would make for a cool topic to see what real life heroes and villains throughout history you think warrant their own film who haven't already had one.
Here are few of my picks.
Hero: Joseph Lister
Known as "the father of modern surgery" it is impossible to empathise just how much of a pioneer and how many people are alive now because of him. Not only would we get the story of how Joseph helped bring the medical field forward in to the future. There is the story of how the entire British medical profession was warned against his ideas at first. Also the man married his wife and the two became not only man and wife but was also his partner in the laboratory.
Hero: Nicholas Winton
Nicknamed "The British Schindler" as a British humanitarian who organised the rescue of 669 children, most of them Jewish, from Czechoslovakia on the eve of World War II in an operation later known as the Czech Kindertransport. (German for "children's transport"). Winton found homes for the children and arranged for their safe passage to Britain. If nobody has heard of him I invite you to go and watch this clip of him being reunited with many of them as a surprise and see if you can keep a dry eye
I am interested to hear who yours would be?

- Can ignore that if he's/she has only featured in someone else's film
- It was only a small tv movie, documentaries or foreign film, only talking big Hollywood movies
