Favorite based on a true story movie?

[Anniston]

My dh and I are true story movie addicts. We just love them. We have seen many of the made for TV type among others that have made it to the big screen. Just wondering what some of your favorites are.

Ours have been Flash of Genius and The Judds life story. Love Can Build a Bridge, I believe it is called.

Profoundly Normal. I absolutely love that movie.

There are a few others that I like, but can't think of them right now lol

A Beautiful Mind and Schindler's List would be two of my favorites. I also enjoyed the Sound of Music as a kid.

I know there are a lot that I like but the only one coming to mind is "I know my first name is Steven".



Thanked 1,125 Times in 666 yikes!Can someone thank me to change the 666?

Profoundly Normal and I think...Steven are two we have loved as well. I would like to see a remake of the "Steven" movie, as a lot happened in that family after the movie release.

Schindler's List for sure...

Another one that has haunted me is Dawn Anna, the story of a mom whose daughter was a student at Columbine HS.

A Beautiful Mind... (Russell Crowe is such a babe ! Just had to throw that in :D )

There are others, I'm old, I'll have to think about it ! LOL!

The Ron Clark story is one we watched last night about the teacher who has made great strides with students who were struggling in NYC. Very cool story.

Yep...definitely on my list, plus The Diary of Anne Frank. Also...I love many of the inspirational sports stories, i.e., Cinderella Man, Miracle, Hoosiers, Remember the Titans, The Rookie, The Pride of the Yankees, Rudy, etc.

And...I am not into sports at all...LOL!

It does but of course the book always has so many details(thoughts)that no movie can ever stand up to.
