What Are The Best Movies Based On A True Story?

Based On A True Story: Blind Side

Rich Davis is obsessed with the movie Blind Side, starring Sandra Bullock. He’s so obsessed he’s seen it multiple times just so he could take other people to see how awesome it was. The rest of the country has been catching on too. So much so, that it beat Twilight New Moon last week! Rich, Nicole, Stan and Ryan then started wondering, “what other movies based on a true story are awesome?” We’re talking 100% based on a true story, not Titanic, where the only part that is factual is the ship sinking.

    I have to agree with Rich.. Blind Side was a phenomenal movie. I would see it in the theater again, which is rare for me. I also liked Jarhead and Men of Honor. 21 was good too, although the book was a lot better than the movie.

    i think the best movie based on real life was the arrow.

  3. Jaime says:

    Rudy is the best ever.

  4. Dean says:

    I’ll be honest, went to it with my girlfriend thinking it was a chick flick. I hadn’t heard of it at all. Turned out to be a phenomenal movie! Its not a “omg you gotta see this right now” movie but you do have to see it sometime!

  5. Karla says:

    mine is THE SCHINDLER’S LIST, i think is the best!

  6. Marcia says:

    I despise Sandra Bullock for some reason but I have seen The Blind Side twice so far … and would go see it again. I’ll agree with Kris and say Jarhead was damn good as well.

    I think blackhawk down was a great movie based on an actual event I will go see the blind side though

    to me Into The Wild was the best, and Radio

  9. Stephanie says:

    I have to agree with Radio. Having seen Radio in person and being in town for the filming, it seems even more realistic to me when I watch the movie.

  10. John says:

    Radio hands down – which I was planning to say before I read the above comments

  11. Vic says:

    A good one in my opinion is Gridiron Gang

  12. Vic says:

    The remake of Walking Tall was remade from a movie based on the life on a real person

  13. Wanda McCorrister says:

    I really liked Remember the Titans! I also agree with Karla- Schindler’s List

  14. Terry Bain says:

    Sergeant York…by far. It is an OLD black and white movie. That was my Dad’s favorite movie of all time.

  15. Nikki says:

    Definance… It’s the movie about the Jews who fight back against the Nazis.

  16. Stephanie says:

    Oh yeah…let’s not forget Wind Talkers!
