I thought the movie Catch Me if you Can was awesome. Its based on a true story. You should read that.

My personal favorite is Wayne Gretzky's. Lots of entertaining anecdotes.

Cash by Johnny Cash is definatly a good one.

Citizen Hughes, while not a true autobiography but more of a collection of his stolen papers, is very good.

Will - G. Gordon Liddy

A lot of it is just him being arrogant but some of it is also very interesting.

Long Walk to Freedom, by Nelson Mandela. This book is amazing.

One of the least read Hemingway books, but one of my favorites. The diary of Anais Nin is great too, for the whole Paris in the 20's thing. I guess these are both wrong for the thread since one's a memoir and the other's a Journal...but all the really good autobios have been mentioned.
