The Best Movies Based on True Stories You've Never Seen According to Looper

"You know what they say: truth is stranger than fiction. Which means that true stories make for some darn good movies. Indeed, many of Hollywood's finest offerings are inspired by real-life events and personal accounts of resilience and tragedy. Fantasy is fine and dandy, but some of the best yarns are ripped straight from the pages of history. There's just something about seeing an obstacle overcome, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity achieved, or a Cinderella story actualized — and knowing it really happened. So, whether you're in the mood for a famous criminal case or an inspiring tale of spiritual fortitude, here's a rundown of 14 excellent films based on things that really occurred. If any of these amazing films have somehow flown under your radar, take our advice and track them down." - looper.com
