favorite/best movie based on a true story

And much more psychotic. I've read the bard's interpretation of Wallace and even his own countrymen described him as somewhere between a serial killer and an avenging angel.
Not that either of those descriptions would make me any less impressed with the man.

I'm not hating on it...I absolutely LOVE Braveheart...but the part where he has something going on with the princess...and the inaccurate Stirling Bridge battle itself...well...

...I mean...where the heck was Stirling Bridge in the film?

That's where the bloody British got ambushed.

Oh...and wasn't the real William Wallace much younger and taller than Mel Gibson?

Aye, and he shot Thunderbolts out his arse!!!

Bubba Ho-Tep



Just kidding.

The first one that popped into my mind was Coal Miner's Daughter.

Glory was good but I hated the end because..spoiler..roll your mouse over>> they all died.

[Riffster]

Longest Day, or Patton
