Bridge on the River Kwai is a work of fiction.

Very much this.

And another vote for World’s Fastest Indian

Up

Alvin & The chipmunks 2- the squeakuel.

^^into the wild is good

I’d like to shore up my Walk the Line nomination with Zero Dark Thirty, also.

The War of the Worlds.

Well, it was true for a while at least. I think that counts.

I might add, that was a radio broadcast wasn’t it…so doesn’t count.

Damnit.

Hotel Rwanda

Love & Mercy

Imitation Game

Theory of Everything

The Fighter

Interesting, I thought Into Thin Air the book was gripping, immersive and powerful, and the film turgid amateurish bollocks.

Serpico, I was reminded of this thread when I re-watched it last night.

Frost/Nixon
Goodfellas
Raging Bull
This Sporting Life
The Kings Speech
The Fighter

All good, Frost Nixon is my favourite

The War of the Worlds.

Well, it was true for a while at least. I think that counts.

Apparently that aspect of it is completely overblown and hyped up.

Dead Snow?
Iron Sky?

In all seriousness though, I was impressed with Jack Strong – seemed cliched and unrealistic till you found out it was all true!

The hurricane.

Are documentary films allowed?

Then “The Smartest Guys in the Room” about the rise and fall or Enron. very disturbing, very watchable

ooh, and “The Act of Killing” about the Indonesian Killings of 65-66. Director gets the killers themselves to act out the murders they carried out.

Man On Wire.

Bronson

Field of dreams

The monuments men
Act of Valour

Bravo 2 Zero
A film that gets better with every viewing

Also..
The Killing Fields
The Lives of Others
24 Hour Party People (kind of based on several real people/stories)

I hated “into the wild” just wanted to slap him, my mate who watched it with me went all misty eyed and wanted to go to Alaska 😆
