Movies surprisingly based on true event

[Janepod]

Paranormal activity really surprised me that it was based off true events.

That's not at all true. Total work of fiction.

One of my favorite movies is based on true events. The Mothman Prophecies. I'm not really sure how much I believe all that, but it made a great movie, even without Brit bashing

My family is from the town in WV where the story originates. Point Pleasant...

I was scared out of my mind to visit after I saw the movie!

Lol, no. It is fiction.

But it would suck to have friends who were haunted by a demon their entire lives!

Wasn't The Blair Witch Project loosely based on the Bell Witch stories?

They were based off my friend Bob who went camping with a group of friends and they never returned home.

About 8 years ago or so I saw the movie "bully". I couldn't believe how sick these kids were...shocking! The movie itself was very graphic and almost borderline soft core porn at times. I had to read the book after that. It gave a bit more insight into the case!

i was surprised that "good morning vietnam" didn't make the list on wikipedia. at least, i didn't see it. it was based on the vietnam war experiences of DJ adrian cronauer.

The 1988 horror movie "The Serpent and the Rainbow" is based on a true story.

Okay I was just about to ask if this was a joke, but then I realized I was thinking of another movie, Prince of Darkness

No, the name is The Mothman Prophecies and stars Richard Gere and Laura Linney (sp?). If you like psychological thriller movies, its a really good one, I definitely recommend it.
