Which is your favorite true-to-life movie?
Name your favorite true-to-life movie,be it television,VHS,DVD or theater release and explain why you like it the best.My favorite is”The Ghost and the Darkness”(1996)starring Val Kilmer and Micheal Douglas.I love this movie because it tells a chilling real story about 2 lions that terrorized and killed throngs of bridge builders in Africa 1898.Val Kilmer portrays Colonial John H. Patterson; the engineer in charge who must oversee the bridge’s completion while simultaneously hunting down these 2 murderous lions.He gets aid in his pursuit from Micheal Douglas in a rousing and memorable performance as Charles Remington”The great white hunter”of his day.The script,directing,acting,editing,score,set location as well as supporting cast;made this movie a profoundly entertaining classic of masterpiece film-making!Although the events of this movie were a calamity that did occur,the film was created so artfully and vividly—capturing the feeling with the superb Direction by Stephen Hopkins.
silkwood with meryl streep as a neuclear power station worker who discovered that her bosses were cutting corners on safety in the power station where she worked i can’t remember most of the details of the plot line or the story but
i saw this movie when i was 10 and it just stuck in my mind
to be honest i’m not even sure if it was a real life story but it just really stuck in my memory for some reason and it wasn’t even a guy movie( does that make me gay)
