Mommie Dearest has to be hands down the scariest protrayal of a real person still one of my favorites though.

I really like "Shackleton" about Ernest Shackleton, the antarctic explorer who was an amazing leader. It's an awesome story, check it out!
I also like "The great escape", it's not really about one person but it's a true.
It is so cool! I love True stories like this because it really happened-if it isn't true it isn't very cool because anyone can just make something up, it isn't amazing, someone just made it all up. But in this, it REALLY happened, people actually did do that! No one had to make it up or anything, it is real! I mean, the characters are mostly composites and the motorcycle part is made up, but otherwise it is totally true!! You should read the book that it is based on (by Paul Brickhill) it's even better than the movie, it's really awesome!
Both films are very accurate, esp. Shackleton. The actor even looks like the real person (ALOT I mean, they look the same!!)

Capote The Oscar winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman did an amazing job!I met Truman Capote in New York over 30 years ago and he is perfect!Truman Capote wrote the first true crime book ever,it was In Cold Blood and the movie is about the writer and all of his personal demons and obsession with the case.

Reach For the Sky
It's old and in black and white but its a vivid story of Douglas Bader, a pilot who lost both legs in a flying accident and yet overcame this adversity to become one of the top fighter aces in WWII.
If anyone needs to be persuaded that having a disability is not the end of the world then let him or her watch this film.
