Which is your favorite true-to-life movie?

Name your favorite true-to-life movie,be it television,VHS,DVD or theater release and explain why you like it the best.My favorite is"The Ghost and the Darkness"(1996)starring Val Kilmer and Micheal Douglas.I love this movie because it tells a chilling real story about 2 lions that terrorized and killed throngs of bridge builders in Africa 1898.Val Kilmer portrays Colonial John H. Patterson; the engineer in charge who must oversee the bridge's completion while simultaneously hunting down these 2 murderous lions.He gets aid in his pursuit from Micheal Douglas in a rousing and memorable performance as Charles Remington"The great white hunter"of his day.The script,directing,acting,editing,score,se... location as well as supporting cast;made this movie a profoundly entertaining classic of masterpiece film-making!Although the events of this movie were a calamity that did occur,the film was created so artfully and vividly---capturing the feeling with the superb Direction by Stephen Hopkins.

Make you feel that that God rewards your sacrifices and that even at the darkest and lowest times of your life, you can still shine if you really work on it.
Hotel Rwanda.

The Time of the Butterflies.

The Joy Luck Club.
The Pianist.
I really liked "The Aviator." Howard Hughes led a very curious life due to his OCD. The movie really made me feel for Hughes and wonder what else he could have done had his mind allowed him to do so.
I allso highly reccomend October Sky. It's the true story of a boy in a coal-mining town. He's the son of a manager in the mine, and all the boys in the town are "doomed" to be miners because they don't have enough money to go to college and better themselves. But this boy sees Sputnick crossing the sky and dreams of something bigger than his town and a slow death from coal dust.

It's a super inspirational film. Awesome.

Others based on true stories that I reccomend

THe Crucible (excellent acting and a fascinating/chilling story.)

Hidden in Silence (gives the appearance of low-budget, but the true story of a teenager who singlehandedly saved 13 Jews during the Halocaust is worth watching, even if some aspects could have been done more 'professionally")

Apollo 13 (That was a great one)

Stand and Deliver (Awesome inspiratonal true story).

The Scarlet and the Black
