Gleason??????? Why call it that when you could call it the great one. But anyways it was a great movie. Maybe another biography will come up with John Goodman as Jackie. I'm also trying to think of someone to play old walt disney, because i think if they did a bio on Walt then it would sell. I already have the idea of Sean Penn as Young Walt Disney. I think maybe Roy Disney Jr. could play his father Roy Disney. And also Jeff Daniels Wells to play eiether old walt or elias disney.

The Great One would make a very appropriate title. But the more I thought about it, I realized that the title may mislead many people in thinking this was a biopic about Wayne Gretzky, the hockey player. He shares that nickname with Jackie for breaking nearly every scoring record in the 1980-90's. So, I guess that's why they stuck with "Gleason".
