Are you the kind of person who takes to Twitter to complain about the fact that you accidentally stumbled upon spoilers because you didn’t see a movie fast enough? TBH, that kind of sounds like it’s your fault, but I won’t point any fingers. The best way to avoid spoilers is to just see movies that are based on real life. That way, everyone knows what’s going to happen, and you can sit back and enjoy the film for what it is. Here are the best movies based on true stories of 2017.
13 Movies Coming Out in 2019 That Are Based on Wild True Stories
Be prepared: These stories will tug at your heartstrings. All of these movies are either based on true stories or are fictionalized accounts of real events. Some are comedies; some are dramas. A few are both. These are stories about historic tennis matches and Supreme Court decisions, high-stakes poker games and missions to the moon. Some are steeped in history, and some happened just yesterday. What each of these stories has in common is a kernel of truth. Real lives, real stories, and real events inspired each of these films, which makes their stakes even higher.
Check out these new and new-ish films inspired by true life, and let us know your favorites. (Our list only reaches back to 1992, so be sure to share with us your go-to movie-night picks from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s too.) For more great films to include on your to-watch list,
23 Movies Based on Moving True Stories
Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks play leading roles in this feature film based on the life of Frank Abagnale Jr. The young Abagnale became an expert in forgery and disguise, and managed to cash checks for millions of dollars, acting as a Pan Am pilot, a doctor and a legal prosecutor along the way. What’s more impressive, he did it all before his 19th birthday and the only reason he did this was to bring his parents, who got into hard financial circumstances and consequently split up, back together. The film combines comic scenes with rapid action and excellent acting, which should surely have won DiCaprio that long-awaited Oscar?
