10 Finest Films Based On A True Story

10 Finest Films Based On A True Story

Up to date on July 13, 2013
Based on Actual Occasions...
I'm not a film critic, I just play one on Hubpages. I like movies and I like lists so I made a decision to do one and can probably do a lot more. I've performed a few movie lists earlier than however I think this one is probably the most effective so take pleasure in it.
The flicks on this hub were all primarily based on precise events and are movies that I have seen. There are different films that I want I could embody but I just cant because I haven't seen them as yet. Hopefully you like these and I would really like to get your suggestions, your decisions and comments.
So to kick it off...
#10 - What's Love Acquired To Do With It
I really could not watch Ike beat up Tina like that. It made me cringe and turn away. It made me offended but because of the realness of this movie based mostly on Tina Turner's rise to fame and the abuse she suffered at the hands of Ike Turner, I had to price this movie.
During analysis for this hub, I discovered that Ike denied doing a number of the stuff portrayed in the film however identical to lots of the occasions within the other movies on this list are closely dramatised for entertainment purposes, I suppose they did what they needed to do to emphasise a degree. Relying on the way you have a look at it the director/cast did a good job because they really got me on this one. I may only watch this movie once and this is the reason I select to include it on this checklist & put it at #10.
#9 - Enemy At The Gates
World Warfare II era, the Battle of Stalingrad, two snipers who are attempting to kill one another - sounds good right? Properly, it is!
Jude Legislation and Joseph Fiennes jogged my memory of the Mad cartoon Spy vs Spy, solely this was removed from humorous and was simply so intriguing to look at. The very best scene was the ending when... nicely if you haven't seen it I wouldn't spoil it for you however lets just say the part the place one of the snipers is killed by the other. That made me soar up out of my seat...made me really understand how a lot on the edge of the seat I used to be too.
#eight - Titanic
Don't inform my girlfriend however I feel Titanic is a a great movie and I just like the story. Its based on actual occasions - everyone is aware of that but the reason why I favored this film is because nicely, comic story.
I used to be watching it within the theatre with my girlfriend and she began crying and stuff on the really sad half. So I put my arm round her, you recognize and he or she's on my right. Now I could imagine all the ladies in the motion pictures had been crying and stuff, this lady on my left who I do not even know leans on my shoulder sobbing...lol.
But I teased my woman after the movie how it was too lengthy and predictable and stuff like that. However hey, it was a extremely good movie, I've to confess that. Cant say the same for that annoying Celine Dion monitor, although.
#7 - Ray
I like how Jamie Foxx places all the pieces into his characters. He literally remodeled himself in to a blind, womanizing but gifted Georgia born Ray Charles.
I truly rediscovered a whole lot of Ray's music from this movie, some I've heard before as remakes and I discovered about Ray's stuggles with drug dependancy and numerous different stuff I didn't know concerning the singer like his childhood. I didn't know he wasn't born blind in order that was fascinating to know.
Total, Jamie Foxx's efficiency as Ray was wonderful, you'd think Ray was taking part in himself...lol.
#6 - Raging Bull
Raging Bull is a lovely but brutal movie based on the life of Italian American boxer Jake LaMotta. The scenes engage you emotionally buut what makes this film so unimaginable is the basic Scorcese manufacturing, the music and performing from Robert De Niro as Jake LaMotta, Joe Pesci as his brother Joey and Cathy Moriarty as his spouse.
The height of this movie is the traditional struggle between LaMotta and world championship boxer Sugar Ray Robinson where LaMotta gets beaten bloody within the ring and Ray wins in a TKO. While Ray is celebrating the win, LaMotta walks over to him, gets his consideration and says, "I by no means went down. You didn't get me down Ray." Woooooooh! Basic!

#5 - The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness is a touching and galvanizing movie about Chris Gardner, a sales man of bone density scanners decided to develop into a stockbroker. The story follows him and his son as he chases his dream often sleeping in homeless shelters and even a public bathroom however never giving up for the sake of his son.



#four - GoodFellas
You do not need to mess with Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. Truthfully, after seeing this movie I used to be satisfied that if I ever saw Joe Pesci in real life I might have a heart assault. The movie starts off with a brutal scene where a member of the Gambino Crime household who insulted Joe Pesci's character, Tommy, is tied up in the trunk of a automobile. Tommy mercilessly stabs him with a knife before he's shot to demise by Jimmy (performed by usual mob flick suspect and Martin Scorcese mainstay, Robert De Niro).
Certainly one of my favourite film quotes came from this film also - "Way back to I can keep in mind, I always wished to be a gangster". The film is predicated on the lifetime of Henry Hill, played by Ray Liotta.
I really like the ending where Lorraine Bracco flushes the medicine down the toilet in desperation to cover it from the DEA & FBI. Actually exciting stuff...actually exciting movie.
#3 - Catch Me If You Can
Based on the real life of conman, Frank Abagnale, Catch Me If You Can didn't look all that fascinating to me but I ended up watching it as a result of there was nothing else on. It turned out to be one of the crucial gratifying movies I'd seen shortly.



#2 - Black Hawk Down
I used to be very happy coming out of the theatre after watching Black Hawk Down when it was released. I remember saying, 'That may be a rattling good movie'.
But it surely was more than just a movie. The movie depicted what was referred to as the Battle of Mogadishu - a situation where 2 Black Hawk helicopters were shot down in Somalia whereas carrying out a rescue mission. The mission which was speculated to take like 1 hour finally ends up taking 15 hours as US army forces battled in the streets of Mogadishu with Somali militia.
Black Hawk Down is a really intense movie. From the time the movie begins to the time it finishes you're just into the film as a result of regardless that its very dramatic the motion just would not stop. What else would you expect from Jerry Bruckheimer and his group in any case.
#1 - Casino
On line casino is my absolute favorite movie based on a true story. I really like the brutalness of mobster films and Joe Pesci who's character, Nicky Santoro relies on the actual lifetime of Anthony "Tony the Ant" Spilotro actually did a superb job satisfying all of the fans of the gangster style.
One in all my favorite actors, Robert De Niro stars as Sam Rothstein who's the proprietor of a Las Vegas casino. Sharon Stone additionally starred as Sam's spouse Ginger who really obtained me into the story for her deceitful methods. I might typically get mad at Sam for being a punk when it got here to Ginger.
The movie was actually balanced...enough violence, drama, love and emotion to get you wrapped up into each minute of the 3 hour long film.
Which of the above movies did you take pleasure in most? If other, leave a remark as an alternative.
On line casino
Goodfellas

Of all the films that I have watched I'll say that out of your list I would decide the Pursuit of Happyness as first. It's such a compelling story. To observe a man dwell by way of all that he did. Working together with his youngster to make the bus connections and get to the shelters. All of the whereas he is working so arduous for the 2 of them. It was such an important true story.
Ray was a really long movie but showed a side of him that many individuals weren't aware of. He was a proficient man however he got into the top of the spectrum as so many people do. It was the age of marvel and expertise. It took its tole on him. Such a loss.
Thanks for the hub!

Cris A eight years in the past from Manila, Philippines
I think Titanic and Enemies on the Gates should have been unnoticed since though they have been based on precise historical events, the story of Jack and Rose and those performed by Law and Fiennes are purely fictional in contrast to the characters within the other films in your record. I think they use the term "inspired by" for that. However hey, I am no studied movie critic either! :D My favorites would be Gandhi and Amadeus!

Are you kidding me? Titanic??? Far from the truth, the only factual factor is that the boat sank. The pursuit of Happyness? Examine how the man truly uncared for his son for four months. And was involved with PCP and a mistress. The only film i can agree with you on is Black Hawk Down. You missed Schindler's checklist, The Pianist, Apollo 13, A Stunning Mind, Munich, there are such a lot of others. If you have not seen any of those, you will need to!

Personally I'd dump Titanic & embody Seabiscuit. Sorry, but Titanic just did not do it for me as the only real half was the sinking of the ship, the remaining was just padded storyline with no fact to it.

I have a problem with you saying "Pursuit of Happyness" relies on real occasions. The protagonist was an irresponsible crack head who didn't pay baby assist to his FIRST baby and barely saw his 2nd son. Go to and type in the movie's title in the search box if do not consider me. Their article has links to respected sources about this.
I'm not bashing a happy story; I just want the producers would be sincere and never push a film over on us as a "true story" when it is actually not.

Ellie 6 years in the past
Oopsie! I erroneously acknowledged I had watched all the films on this checklist, but by no means saw "Enemy at the Gate."
Actually am stunned you added "Titanic," although. What a lame movie! I might fee "Titantic" as low as "Love Story" (the Ryan 'Neal, Ali McGraw mess which coined the dumbest line in moviedom, "Love means by no means having to say you are sorry.") Ugh.
These films changed my life, and that, imho, earns actual-life-greatest-movie status:
Masks (the true story of Rocky Dennis)
The Diary of Anne Frank
The Elephant Man
effectively pursuit of happiness is an efficient movie..
you got a reasonably good listing!! i dont know if tear of the solar is a true story but definitively is a good film.
about true story i actually like alpha dog!! dont know if you guys have seen it!!
titanic is a like a bit too cliché for me.. i like leo di caprio but not in titanic..

Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci have been the dream crew of Italian gangster motion pictures. Ray (the highlight of Jamie Foxx's career)was better than I assumed it will ever be. And What's Love Got To Do With It? will probably be a sentimental favorite with fans for years more to come. Good hub!

I voted for Titanic as I do get pleasure from an excellent love story, additionally Pursuit of Happiness is a superb movie. I would have voted for Schindlers List, that is the finest strongest true story I've ever watched. Many other nice true stories.
Blood Diamond is another nice true story, solely the precise occasions are a lot worse than is portrayed within the film, having myself listened to a number of friends who lived by means of those horrifying occasions.

When you have by no means heard of it and have a tolerance for sports movies basically...watch it - merely awesome

This record is sweet and all however appears to have certain types of movies on, titanic is stupid as the rose and jack thing took over the movie and people do not really see it aside from a love story, so really it's best to have the primary film not one which was made to win awards:s
Additionally Alive must be up here, actual life story better than any of those in addition to the movie was amazing.

An obvious one is American Gangster. If anybody has not watched this movie simply drop what ever it's your doing and watch it now. Denzel Washington and Russell Crow. Undoubtedly with out query needs to be at the high of the top ten.

Talk about plenty of feedback and recommendations. Personally Titanic wouldn't be in my list however "The Aviator", "Five Pennies" and "The Glenn Miller Story" would sneak on by some means. Though there are such a lot of nice true story movies that picking just 10 is a tough process.

Pursuit of happiness, What's Love Bought To Do With It and Titanic can go kick rocks...not my sort of film.

Hey,you need to have included movie "Into the wild".This film primarily based on a real life story of Christopher is admittedly very touching film.
My second suggestion to your listing is "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly".This movie is based on a dramatic life story of "Elle" journal editor Jean Dominique Bauby.

How does Titanic qualify? The one true part is the ship and it sinking. All the things else was fictional. The plot of the entire movie was the fictional romance, so it should not qualify.
d 6 years in the past
And where in the heck is Braveheart? The plot of that whole film was not solely real, however its in all probability the most effective occasions within the historical past of mankind.

My personal favourite film primarily based on a real story was Defiance.
I voted for Enemy at the Gates, because I'm always very keen on snipers and I did like it fairly a bit. However I did not like the setting and the scenes. They weren't dirty or chaotic enough, a bit of bit too much of a fake really feel. And I hate sex scenes.
Catch Me if You Can was superb, and Black Hawk Down was nice. One reason I didn't like Black Hawk Down was that it did not painting or explain every thing as totally as it could. It omitted quite plenty of pieces and inserted just a few others.
Simply because I'm not a sucker for mobster films, I am not really aware of a lot of your picks.
Good assessment although.
@ d,
Braveheart horribly destroyed the actual life occasions. The preventing in it was good, but nearly nothing was achieved right.

Where is "Mississippi Burning"? And "JFK", if "JFK" did not make you concentrate on who actually shot Kennedy, then you definately weren't paying consideration- plus, it had probably the very best cast of all-time. "Born on the 4th of July" is one other nice true story. Cruise continuously gets screwed relating to Oscar talk
