What is the best movie based on..

[Jazzy]

a historical event or true story?

 

[beowulf]

Battle of Britain

or maybe

Shindlers list

 

[Kaunisto]

My first ideas were sports movies like Miracle or Cobb.

Ed Wood

 

[Howard]

a historical event or true story?

Free State of Jones

 

[McConnaughay]

My first thought was Texas Chainsaw Massacre, not because I think it's a good film, but because it's considered as "based on a true story" even though what it's "based on" wasn't a Massacre, had nothing to do with a Chainsaw, and didn't happen in Texas.
