Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was a novel by Chuck Palahniuk.

Have you guys seen Nobody Knows by Hirokazu Koreeda? It was based on a news item of a woman who abandoned her children in an apartment. Truly heart-wrenching, but my god what a great director this guy already is.

And yep, the kid on the cover won best actor at Cannes 2004 for it.

Napolean Dynamite

One I just watched last night, Last king of Scotland. Forest Whitaker does a superb job of playing Idi Amin Dada, the president of Uganda in the 70's. Excellent performances, excellect directing by Kevin Macdonald.

Men of Honour - Cuba Gooding Jnr. portrays the part superbly and robert DeNiro is awesome!!
Ali - Will Smith stepped into the shoes of one of the greatest sportsmen of all time , and did him great justice!

So I know it's not been made into a film yet, but John Grishams latest book, The Innocent Man, is freakin awesome. He takes a brilliant stab at non-fiction with a true story about a man who was convicted of a murder he did not commit and all the mis-handlings of his trial and utter corruptness of the law. I definitely think it has potential to become a great film, but we all know how great works wind up thrashed.

The Pianist is a really really good film, cinematography is superb and I always think Adrien Brody is a fantastic actor

THE DOORS Directed by Oliver Stone

"Those are all good true stories guys , but i didn't see "The Doors" anywhere! Not only its my favorite Movie based on a true story But it's My favorite Oliver Stone movie.

I like The Doors a lot too, and Val Kilmer deserved an Oscar, but I didn't really consider it a "true story". I mean, unless you truly believe that Morrison was the "Lizard King"!
