Movies based on real life

[arunima25]

I have always enjoyed movies based on biography, autobiography, based in real lives or real incidences. There are some that are based on real life incident but use their creative license to modify it a bit. I like the ones that are more close to the real happenings. I enjoy them as long as the film has not been made really bad. Some of them are really inspiring. How about you? Do you enjoy such movies based on real life people or incidents? Is there any particular favorite one that you recommend others to watch?

I like biopics, but what I don't like is most of the time filmmakers try to make the character larger than life. In the name of creative liberty, they exaggerate.

@Nomad . I totally agree there. The more they stay closer to the real life, the more authentic and appealing I find it. I hate it even more when they make biopics of gangsters and fraudsters and show them as a hero. Creative liberty has to be exercised with responsibility and caution.

Black Hawk Down will always be my favourite movie which is based on a real life event. Nothing was exaggerated in movie because everything that happened in the movie was what took place in the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu.

I prefer real-life movies when they are straight down to facts and some of them dig into history. The good thing is that they are evergreen movies

@Ja sa bong . I have not heard of the movie. Sounds good watch. I will check if it's accessible to me on any of the platforms.
@1stop . Yes, if the historical dramas are well made, they are really entertaining. You are right that historical movies are evergreen movies.

Precisely, an historical drama is an evergreen type of film. And years later you watch it again and it still seems compelling.

Fictional movies don't portray real life's experiences, They are only based on imagination like the Star Wars, King Kong and more, They are created to amuse the movie fanatics.

Bohemian Rhapsody, the biopic of Freddie Mercury, is excellent. As is Buster, the story of Britain's Great Train Robbery (the one with Phil Collins) and White Mischief based on the case of the murder of Lord Erroll in 1941.
