In each case, these films prove that truth is often stranger than fiction – and sometimes makes for even better movies. They include peculiar character studies and psychedelic drug trips that challenge the definition of truth itself. Some are earth-shaking historical events, others are tales of true crime ripped from the headlines. In these movies, the truth is approached with something close to a journalistic eye – not that any would qualify as a documentary, just that the facts are represented better than most, simply because the stories are so spectacular a screenwriter would hardly come up with anything better. The films on this list are examples of the latter. Sometimes, though, a story is so mind-blowing that the truth needs no stretching to fit on the big screen. 1995 by Peter Gay (Author) 49 ratings Book 1 of 2: Enlightenment: An Interpretation Hardcover 72.99 1 Used from 72.99 Paperback 14.99 10 Used from 5.08 9 New from 14.99 Note: This item is eligible for FREE Click and Collect without a minimum order subject to availability.
A lot of the time, when a movie claims to be based on actual events, it means there’s a small grain of reality buried in a haystack of dramatic embellishments, to the point that the literal ‘true story’ of the matter becomes so distorted it hardly even qualifies as truth.
