I like to think that JFK is true lol

It is! All of it. Every last second.

Harry we must know the same people. People Vs Larry Flint was entertaining.

I prefer Larry Flint's work more than that movie. It's still good though.

Changeling was another great true story movie.

Recently, I was pretty impressed by The Express

The Bank Job is good but i like 9/11 it's very dramatic

More like a joke... :bashful:

When it comes to biographies about musicians...I don't like when the actor playing th musician can't even play the instrament or sing like the musician their depicting.

Like I just watched 'Hendrix' a movie based on parts of his life...and the actor couldn't even play guitar...scenes of Jimmis musical hits were played by this actor and all they did was slide their hand across the strings...it looked so fake and korny...it ruined it...why not find a true guitarist to play Jimmi? I mean after all most who would view this older movie, probablly know a little about guitars, and can tell when someones faking it...

They did a good job with 'I walk the line'...using the Pheonix guy...He just has a naturall real life rebilious air to him that made him a near perfect fit to play Johny Cash...and he was handsome...more so than Johny...well I guess that could be argued...

Casting will make or break movie biographies...

I liked The Straight Story, which was supposed to be true. I don't mind if they embellish a detail or two to spark it up, as long as the real person's motivations stay real.

I think The Blindside was the best one I've ever seen.
