Any 'fiction' movies that were based within real life events..

[Andy Q]

Does anyone know any films like this (title).

For example, 'Titanic' was a true life event but the Rose and Jack story is purely fiction (despite the director doing research later after film completion and finding out that someone boarded the titanic called Jack Dawson-weird!).

What others movies are like that? I guess 'Moulin Rouge' is one as that location exists but whether Satine's story happened is unknown.

There are thousanRAB of films that are "based on true events".

Two off the top of my head are
The Bank Job



Bronson





and then there's The Da Vinci Code

Every war movie ever made.

another movie attempting to cash in on Titanic's idea was Pearl Harbour.
I quite liked the real side of it, the bombing of the ships scenes and the other historical aspects where excellent. but the love story element was just awful.

Dirty Harry was inspired by the Zodiac Killer who was active in the San Francisco area at the time.

Actually the man wasn't Jack Dawson but Joseph Dawson.

Three Kings (with George Clooney). Come to think of it, pretty much every war film

World Trade Centre I think was fictional, although could have very likely been a true story.
