you could probably have a Cane Begonia (I notice you didn't list those) that can grow to 6' or taller indoors.

Canes are quite unusual for begonias, from what I've seen.
I have never been a begonia fan, until I saw these beautiful canes.
The picture here is a young plant, and will grow much taller. The leaves are about the size of your hand, and the clusters of flowers are very fragrant.
I suggest every now & then to cut down the leggy plant, and root it, then poke the new plant in the same pot which will create quite a bushy effect. If you have it in a well lit area, it shouldn't get leggy because it's reaching for the light. Place it high up to begin with. :-)
