Some are earth-shaking historical events, others are tales of true crime ripped from the headlines.
In these movies, the truth is approached with something close to a journalistic eye – not that any would qualify as a documentary, just that the facts are represented better than most, simply because the stories are so spectacular a screenwriter would hardly come up with anything better. The films on this list are examples of the latter. Sometimes, though, a story is so mind-blowing that the truth needs no stretching to fit on the big screen. A lot of the time, when a movie claims to be based on actual events, it means there’s a small grain of reality buried in a haystack of dramatic embellishments, to the point that the literal ‘true story’ of the matter becomes so distorted it hardly even qualifies as truth.
