During the 1980's three Oscar-winning films contained the name of a person in the title. Name these films.

The Academy Awards of the 1980s showed a clear fondness for films centered on unforgettable individuals, with three Best Picture winners featuring a main character's name right in the title. These films spanned the decade, telling vastly different stories about historical figures and fictional personalities who left a lasting impact. Each movie not only secured the top prize but also earned an Oscar for its lead actor or actress, highlighting the power of these character-driven narratives.

The first was Richard Attenborough's sprawling 1982 epic, *Gandhi*, which chronicled the life of the Indian leader. Ben Kingsley’s transformative, Oscar-winning performance became the definitive portrayal of the man. Two years later, *Amadeus* (1984) offered a stylized and dramatic look at the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, cleverly told through the resentful eyes of his rival, Antonio Salieri. The decade closed with a more intimate story, *Driving Miss Daisy* (1989). Based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play, the film explores the decades-long relationship between an elderly Southern woman and her chauffeur, earning Jessica Tandy a Best Actress award at the age of 80.
