Best movie based on true events?

Probably any great war movie. I'm going to see 21 on monday and I heard that was based on true events, so I think that might become the new favourite.freek666

21 is very loosely based on true events.

300, yes it is based off a real war.

Star Wars a55assin

NFS102

Yeah the real war was brutal, hunchbacks, giant monsters with blades for arms. Heck must have been a tough battle.

It was exagerated in the movie, but the battle between the Spartans and Persians really did happen.

Band of Brothers, though its technically a miniseries and Letters from Iwo Jima.

I also enjoyed Gods and Generals and Gettysburg.

Star Wars a55assin

How did they found out about something that happen in a galaxy far far away.

Those guys must be some kind of geniuses

You'd be better off watching the 300 spartans for a more accurate movie.

Well, the Battle of Thermopylae is a true story.

We Were Soldiers was a great Vietnam film and I'm very sure that it was based on a true battle.freek666

Yup, Battle of Ia Drang.

only if independance day was true but its not so flyboys

From the way your title sounds...no one could have really known.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose had the "based on true events" sticker on the end of the movie...so...yeah...no need to say more.

I think Black Hawk Down was pretty accurate...

It is sometimes tough to tell the difference between true events and hollywood true events since based on a true story or based on true events is mostly a lie.

Dog Day AfternoonOrlando_Magic

good choice, forgot about that one.

I didn't mean to cause such an argument! :lol: Let's just say that it doesn't count as a movie, it really doesn't matter. I'll say United 93 or Black Hawk Down now.

We Were Soldiers was a great Vietnam film and I'm very sure that it was based on a true battle.freek666

How about Rising Sun...that was one of my favorite movies ever. a55assin

Never saw it, it has Sean Connery in it right? i will check it out, if it has sean connery there is a good chance of it being worth watching.

Actually...I know Bruce Willis plays in that movie...I don't know about Connery.

Wait...maybe I have the wrong title...let me check.

Edit: Ah..I did have the wrong title. It was "Tears of the Sun"...awesome movie.

The Aviator was awesomeweb966

Ugh...I really disliked that movie...was that based on true events though?

I believe it was based on the life of Howard Hughs.

the matrix, yes that is real :)darkspineslayer

I knew it:o

Into the Wild or Downfall. There are too many to really name, a lot of them are really high up there.
