40 Movies Based on True Stories You Won't Be Able to Stop Thinking About (Reader's Digest)

"There's a reason there have been so many incredible movies based on true stories: It's because the truth is more fascinating than fiction a lot of the time. What also helps our appreciation is just knowing that these stories actually happened, so we're able to relate to the characters on a much deeper level. We feel what they feel, and we see the world from their perspective. Movies based on true stories have the potential to run the emotional gamut. The best ones are thought-provoking and will stick with you for days after you've left the theater or closed your laptop. We've put together a list of films that will please every kind of movie watcher. We based our picks on blockbusters, award winners, critical darlings, classics and cinematic game-changers. No matter what you're in the mood for, you'll find it on this list." - rd.com
