película biográfica; biopeli; biopic: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el sustantivo adaptado "biopic" es apropiado como equivalente de la expresión "película biográfica". [...] Este término en español proviene del anglicismo "biopic" [...] El Diccionario de la lengua española lo registra [...] como forma adaptada masculina o femenina (el "biopic" o la "biopic"), por lo que no es necesario escribirlo en cursiva ni entrecomillado. Su plural es "biopics". También puede optarse por formas como "biopeli" [...] 2, record 1, Spanish, - pel%C3%ADcula%20biogr%C3%A1fica
