    Favorite based on a true story movie?

    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.
    We had us, we had him, now we have everything.

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

    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.

    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.

    Wolf Creek - Crazy Austrailian Horror movie, based on a true story, which makes it even more insane!
