Films portraying Warhol

Andy Warhol is portrayed by Crispin Glover in Oliver Stone's film The Doors (1991). Warhol is also represented by David Bowie in Basquiat, a film by Julian Schnabel. In the film I Shot Andy Warhol, directed by Mary Harron (1996), the actor Jared Harris portrayed Warhol. Sean Gregory Sullivan depicted Warhol in the film 54 (1998). The latest film actor to portray the artist is Guy Pearce in the 2006 film, Factory Girl.

Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film is a reverential four-hour 2006 movie by Ric Burns about Andy Warhol.

Gus Van Sant was planning a version of Warhol's life with River Phoenix in the lead role just before the latter's death in the early 1990s (as discussed in an interview with the two, included in the published My Own Private Idaho script book).
