This list provides details of cinematic portrayals of composers as characters in film.
A composer may be the main subject of a film, or a less important character.
The events portrayed might be reasonably historically accurate or might be fictionalised to some degree.
Some films mix elements of drama and documentary, such as Ken Russell's Elgar, and these can be included.
This list does not give details of roles where an actor provides only their voice; nor does it include portrayals of fictional composers.
