"Shine" - the David Helfgott biopic. Whatever you think of his music, it is a convincing portrait of the sort of burnout than can and does happen amongst driven professional musos.

"Unfaithfully Yours" (Rex Harrison) - although a comedy, and very over the top, is supposedly based on (or inspired by) the character of Sir Thomas Beecham. Great integration of popular classics into the soundtrack.
