What are the ones you've watched and enjoyed?

I just got done watching Catch Me If You Can.. it was pretty good. October Sky and Into the Wild were both very enjoyable, as well.
 
Almost all David lean movies are inspired from real incidents.

Ghandi was brilliant, so was Bugsy.

Motorcycle diaries wasnt bad.

The Pianist was a shite movie, cannot figure out how it scrapped through in Cannes, may be jews were lobbying it for the awards.
 
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

Very good movie, and meant to be the most accurate portrayal of what actually happened.

Blow with Johnny Depp also liked Texas chainsaw massacre which they say is based on a true story when it actual fact is pretty much a load of bollocks.

Its a shite completely assasinated the character of the Szpilman, apparently made to promote him as the patragonist, should probably go down as Polanski's worst movie. Some Nazi feckwitteristic scenes in btw only made it worse.


Indian movies are the best in the world. There is no room for debate there.
 
I thought The pursuit of haypness was great

And I second Rainman (if infact its based on a true story) & Cool Runnings they were both great movies... Terminal was a good call too Soulis I happened to enjoy that one..
