Do you like watching movies that are based on a true story? Or a movie that is based on a person's life? I just finished watching Walk The Line, based on the life of Johnny Cash. It gave me an appreciation for a singer that I hardly new anything about. I also enjoyed watching Ray, the story of Ray Charles. I knew a bit about him, but not all of the struggles he went through.

What is your favorite true story movie?

Is there any particular person you would most like to see a movie about their life?

Yes I do enjoy watching real life movies but I did not enjoy RAY. I love his music so much and that movie really made him look bad and I did not watch it all so that I did not think any bad thought of him.

I agree... but it wasn't the movie that made him look bad, that was his life. He cleaned up in the end, which was good to see. I was stunned that a man like him could have been so heavy into the drugs, but it was due to the pain he carried from his childhood, which he finally did let go of.

Yeah I like real movies too. but some of the stuff you learn about people isn't always things I think they would want put out there for the whole world to know! Honestly I think it's kinda sad seeing some peoples hard times made into a movie! I guess it's there way to make money But I don't always Agree~

hello my fellow myLotter, i also enjoy watching movies that are based on a true story. my favorite movie based on a true story would have to be Rudy because it always reminds me to never give up on my dream. happy posting!


joniterry24 (13)   ranked 8,692 out of 10,795 in watching movies  4 years ago

YEah I have to agree with this One RUDY shows you to never give up no matter how many times you are told NO!

I haven't seen Rudy in years. I also liked Radio, but it made me sad at times. I almost cried. I don't think I can watch that movie again.

yes, I really enjoy watching such kinds of movies. These kinds of movies are inspirational and we can learn a lot by seeing them. True story based movies always have a message so that we can watch and enjoy and Learn. for example, a movie on Gandhiji is a very good watch and also very educational.

I like Walk the Line, but I don't think I normally watch movies based on peoples entire lives. I have watched a lot of Lifetime movies based on real events though.


myLot reputation of 97/100. katsmeow1213 (7750)   ranked 22 out of 10,795 in watching movies  4 years ago

Based on real events is good too, like Pearl Harbor. I liked watching that and seeing what people had gone through back then. I also enjoy watching movies of things that could become true, like Armeggedon.

I can remember watching some movie about the singer of the Doors I think it was.. I thought that movie was prety good. Been so long since I watched it. Also the People vs. Larry Flint movie. LOL What can I say I enjoyed it.

T this day I have to say Walk The Line is my fave based on a true story movie.
My wife and I saw it in the theatres when it was released. Thewn when it cam out on DVD we bought it. That is a great movie with a great soundtrack as well. I am awaiting a movie to be made about JFK that will go further in depth of his life and military times etc.

That would be good, I don't know too much about the life of JFK. I've found that I learn a lot about a person if they make a movie about them, and then I'm so interested that I end up doing a bit of research on the net and learn as much as I can about them.
I'm looking forward to seeing the movie W and how much truth that movie has.

I think these types of movies make them extra special because they were inspired by true events. That takes the whole movie watching experience to a higher level. You get to relive what another has actually gone through. Ray is an awesome film and I got to learn more about him just by watching it. One film that comes to mind right now is The Pursuit of Happyness. I really want to read the book from the actual man who found his way back into the world. I find it interesting.


myLot reputation of 97/100. katsmeow1213 (7750)   ranked 22 out of 10,795 in watching movies  4 years ago

I've seen that movie, persuit of happyness. It was interesting, but I didn't think it was all that great honestly. Granted it was based on a true story, so they could not have made it more interesting unfortunatly, I just didn't think it was much of an entertaining movie.
