Which true story touched your heart the most? Let us know below, and be sure to check out our video of the Top 10 Movies Based on a True Story That Left Out the Craziest Part: th-cam.com/video/n8OrmXWAN6U/w-d-xo.html
“Lean on Me” In 1985 I lived in NJ, and I could save 20 minutes of commute time by driving through Paterson. One evening my car broke down in Paterson, and not even the police would stop to help me. They would just drive by every one in a while to make sure I was still alive. (I was eventually helped by a Good Samaritan.) That a principal could turn around a school in such a scary place is inspiring to me.
One movie based on a true story that’s inspiring to me is Temple Grandin. It’s such a beautiful and well made biopic staring Claire Danes as Temple Grandin who’s an advocate for people with autism
Lorenzo’s Oil. When a child is diagnosed with a terrible disease that will take his life way too early, his mother and father take medical matters into their own hands and eventually create a special treatment for their son with the help of more qualified professionals. Yes, it’s true that the treatment ultimately failed and the boy in question, Lorenzo Odone, died at 30. But it’s the story of the perseverance and persistence of the parents that is so inspiring to watch. And the movie technically has a happy ending as it ends with Lorenzo still a child and was made several years before he died, so the parting message of him still thriving in his 20s was beautiful to read. Beautiful but brutal movie. Especially if you’re a parent. But worth the watch.
Hidden Figures is one of my favorites, as well as Titans. The one you forgot is Monuments Men who were able to save precious works of art from the Nazi's. Hitler's regime took so much from the world and society that this movie is another that shows the torture (when the group found gold teeth and fillings extracted from the mouths of their victims) the sorrow they felt for them.
Hacksaw Ridge had me crying, but also cheering for Doss. Hidden Figures was a beautiful well-told story about women at NASA 🚀. Remember The Titans is one of my favorite sports films reflecting the 1960s-1970s. 42 was one of Chadwick Boseman’s best films: loved his portrayal of Jackie Robinson. Soul Surfer hit hard for me while watching it, and I almost teared up. Lone Survivor was a hard, but great watch. The Miracle Season had me cheering for the volleyball team despite the opposition.
I'd love for a biography on Walt Disney; "Walt Before Mickey" focused on his younger years, and "Saving Mr. Banks" was about Mary Poppins. Or just a biography focusing on Disney's renaissance era (I'd also like one on their revival era, but I doubt all their secrets are public access yet).
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is an excellent movie. It’s a biopic about Jean Dominique Bauby, who was the editor in chief of Elle magazine before a massive stroke left him completely paralyzed for the rest of his life. Despite his circumstances, he learned to communicate again through blinking and became a best selling author in several European countries before he died. The movie takes its title from the book that he wrote.
I’m so annoyed that you didn’t include the movie “Something the Lord Made which is a biographical film about Alfred Blalock (played by Alan Rickman) and Viven Thomas (played by Mos Def) who worked together to help find a solution to infant heart disease. It is such a powerful and underrated film that talks not only about the medical world but shows the racism and sexism of the medical field in the 1930’s.
A personal favorite of mine growing up in Minnesota and knowing how the dog sled race eventually changed to a snowmobile race, Iron Will is a good one to check out
Molly’s Game and American Sniper are 2 of my favorites as well. However, Schindler’s List is an amazing film with a very important story that needed to be told.
Lord please help me get me one more spoken by a true hero who fought not with a weapon instead his bravery. While the world was set on destroying itself he chose to try to save its by helping with love not hate.
Hacksaw Ridge is my favorite war movie. 3 other movies that should b listed r The Blind Side: a story of how a homeless black teenage boy, is adopted by a loving open-hearted white family, and helps shape him into professional football player. Heaven is for Real: a little boy has a near death experience. Vistis heaven and meets Jeaus. Including his great grandfather, who died an old man before the boy was born, but is young again. Quote "Nobody's old in Heaven, and nobdoy wears glasses"; even his eldest sister from a miscarriage. And Mircales from Heaven: I sickly girl visits Heaven and talks to God himself. It even show of how selfless acts from strangers can b miracles too.

Hey outsider, why are you ASSuming all Americans think the same? Your outsider movies are crap. I would rather watch pain dry than your daily regurgitated stories.

Remember the Titans is such a great movie along with Coach Carter, Freedom Writers and Soul Surfer. Highly recommend watching them
I love hidden figures !!

My absolute favorites have to be: Glory, Apollo 13, Lion, A Beautiful Mind, and Wild.

I love that within 4 mins, you have 2 Morgan Freeman movies hitting hard
Those three women knew more about math than I will ever learn, they were geniuses!
In 7th Grade, we watched Hidden Figures to learn what is STEM
I've only seen half of these movies so my goal now is to see the rest before I decide. It's great to see 1 of my favorite actors in a few of the 20.
My favorite 4 best movies 🎥: Invictus, Hidden Figures, Schindler's List, Glory (honorable mentions: Soul Surfer, Remember the Titans).
I’m so annoyed that you didn’t include the movie “Something the Lord Made which is a biographical film about Alfred Blalock (played by Alan Rickman) and Viven Thomas (played by Mos Def) who worked together to help find a solution to infant heart disease.

Miracles from Heaven is such an amazing story and movie.
True spirit, following your dreams no matter what happens or what people think or say!
This list has my favorite war film (Glory) and favorite biopic (A Beautiful Mind). Woot!
A personal favorite of mine growing up in Minnesota and knowing how the dog sled race eventually changed to a snowmobile race, Iron Will is a good one to check out
You forgot to mention Cool Runnings and Temple Grandin
So glad Denzel won for glory. His and Mathew Broderick work in that movie 🎥 was the best I have ever seen
Molly’s Game and American Sniper are 2 of my favorites as well. However, Schindler’s List is an amazing film with a very important story that needed to be told.
Togo was also base on a true story
King's Speech should be included
Lord please help me get me one more spoken by a true hero who fought not with a weapon instead his bravery. While the world was set on destroying itself he chose to try to save its by helping with love not hate.
Happy friday afternoon, Rebecca, take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well
Amazing Grace and A United Kingdom should have been on this list.

Hacksaw Ridge is amazing and one of my favorites too.
I love Hidden Figures
Four films with inspirationall stories for me are One Life, Music of the Heart , My name is Khan and Honey

Argo
127 Hours

I'm surprised that "To Sir, With Love" 1967 wasn't on the list.
I would have liked to see "The Insider" at least in the honorable mentions.
The movie champions at least deserved an honourable mention another underdog (special needs) story very heartwarming.
Zero Dark Thirty? The Other Side of Heaven?
Miracle of the white stallions 1963 is a good one
Please tell me "Titanic" is #1 because it's the 27 Anniversary!
Nope, Schindler's List is #1. Titanic isn't even on the list.
There is nothing inspiring about 'Titanic'.
@@dimidrugg9592I feel that Titanic is very inspiring how some people banned together to survive. The women pulled together the suggestions that was made to transfer people from unfilled lifeboats in order to go back and save others really happened even under scrutiny.
What about Stand and deliver?
the more this list advances, the more upset I am with the order it's in. How could you put 'Rudy' higher than 'Hidden Figures' (just to name one)??
But, the choices for most of them are good.
What happened to Lean On Me or Cool Runnings
I'm really surprised the wolf of wall street and Deepwater horizon isn't on here
I actually watched hidden figures in my astronomy class
RBG, RBG, RBG!

Hey america, are you aware there is a world outside of you? Your movies are crap. I would rather watch paint dry than your daily regurgitated stories.
Hey outsider, why are you ASSuming all Americans think the same? Your outsider movies are crap. I would rather watch pain dry than your daily regurgitated stories.
My top favorites from this list (in order): Hacksaw Ridge, The Imitation Game, Invictus, Erin Brockovich, Eddie the Eagle. 🩷🩷
