Ford Vs Ferrari.
The Social Network
Father Stu
The Big Short
The Wolf of Wall St.
I’ve seen many more but these are some I thought were worth mentioning. What are some of your favorites?
Nothing against you or your choice, Mike, but **** Ford, what a waste of a concept for a film. There are SO. MANY. DIFFERENT. RACING. TOPICS. that one can make into a film and they pick a lame Sports/Touring Car rivalry that barely made a dent in the grand scheme of things racing?
Of modern things based on true racing events, Rush is infinitely better and about 70% accurate too.
And while the Social Network is a phenomenal film, that is (to borrow from the shareholding in the film), 5-10% true, as it was based on a book that was written with only one person's POV (Dustin Moskovitz) in mind and Dustin wasn't as involved as Mark or Eduardo in real life.
But! As noted by Zuckerberg himself many times, they got his wardrobe in the film almost 1:1
