Just watched American Gangster again and thinking what other good films there are that are based on a true story?

Post them up please.

mrjenrst

finding nemo, starship troopers and alien

American gangster is a brilliant film though

mrjenrst

chopper, it makes me piss there must be hundreds but i cant think of any now

MikeyRobbo

rise of the footsoldier, class film

JayCC

Tombstone. Based on historical events.

I actually can't think of any more..

Dub604

Tombstone was based on a true story, but quite inacurate and made wyatt earp into something that he really wasnt iirc

but back to the topic.

Amityville Horror
Open Water (terrible film)
Wolf Creek

JayCC

Doc Holliday made the film what it is. His character is immense.

pocahontis (sp?)
monsters vs aliens
rocco's initiations 1-2 -3 etc etc

Blach hawk down and Peril Harbour. I love both of them, but as hollywood does, makes them different to what really happened. Still both ace films tho.

Some good titles here, Forgot about most though!

I have Rise of the Footsoldier and watched that again the other night, always a goodun.

RobL

i didnt like that,i thought the guy who played tucker was a shite actor and that wig he had on his head was just laughable,couldnt take it seriously everytime that hairpiece was in shot

Charlie Chalk

I know what you mean, You seen a picture of the real Tucker? His hair was laughable too....

RobL

yeah thats true lol, i just couldnt take that guys seriuosly in the film though

xr2i-carl

Rise of the foot soldier gets my vote. Proper film. Everything
in it is what actually happened.
