I was surprised not to see CAPOTE (2005) and INFAMOUS (2006). Released less than a year apart, both tell the very specific story of the writing of Truman Capote's breakout "true novel", IN COLD BLOOD. CAPOTE, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, was the "winner" of the two, as Hoffman took home the Oscar for his portrayal of Truman Capote, but Toby Jones's turn in INFAMOUS was as good, IMHO, and I think that film had a stronger supporting cast, including Sandra Bullock as Capote's friend and researcher Harper Lee. INFAMOUS is certainly less known today, but really, both films are top notch.

[@jameslacey5474]

There were also two films about Hitchcock, of which Toby Jones played in one. Toby's dealt with his relationship with Tippy Hendren during 'The Birds', while the other film starred Antony Hopkins and was about the making of 'Psycho'. Toby, though a very fine actor seemed to play second fiddle to the other two films that got more recognition.
