119 Movies Based on True Stories ( From 1997 Until Now)

This is my list of all true story films that I have watched and which made some impression on me, made me think. You can find here one of the best biographic stories of certain famous people, historical event or just an incredible story of an ordinary people. There are more of them, but I tried to make a mix of everything and to focus on just biography or just war movies in some another list. Anyway, I hope this reminds you of some of the great human stories told on a big screen or that you can find a new one for your watchlist.
Small tip: Explore that true story behind a film after watching it!
The cover is from the Serbian movie: Montevideo, God Bless You, also true story.
