*61 is one of the most meticulously accurate sports movies of all time, not just the big details like the players and uniforms, even down to the teams the Yankees were playing on that date in 1961 are all accurate. There's even a listing in the DVD inlet that shows all 61 of Roger Maris' homeruns that season, the date, and the pitcher he hit it against. It was a passion project for Billy Crystal, the world's biggest Yankee fan, it was personal for him because that season was a big part of his childhood, and he gave the movie all the love it deserved. He even rented Tiger Stadium and renovated it to make it look like Yankee Stadium, and handed out Yankee hats to all the extras that played fans.

Soon as I saw the title, The first thing that popped in my mind was The Big Short. I worked in subprime mortgages from 2001 to 2007. I wasn't in sales or anything like that, but I definitely saw some things. People complain about a lot of new rules in mortgage these days. I know why a lot of them exist.

@@mikememine1423 yeah, because I'm the one who made all the decisions to defraud people. 🤨 I wasn't _allowed_ to explain loans to customers, I had higher ups who wanted me to do things I refused to do, I wasn't about to take the fall for someone who made 10x what I did. I lost my job then my home, I was effectively homeless for about a year or so, couch surfing. I had to restart my retirement savings when I finally could get another job. I've been able to save enough to live for about a year. Direct your anger where it belongs, to the people who were in charge and the loan officers who took advantage of a system without regulations to protect consumers.

On the radio broadcast of Coast to Coast AM the day the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 , Art Bell was talking to famous remote viewer Sean David Morton to discuss what was going to happen . Everyone was wondering if there would be a collapse . Sean responded by saying the bombing wouldn't cause a collapse . Then he said something really strange. On the air , Sean said the towers would fall when each one would be hit by jet airliners . Men Who Stare At Goats might sound ridiculous BUT it was about remote viewing .

The Revenant should absolutely NOT be on a list of "Surprisingly Historically Accurate Movies". 1. Hugh Glass didn't have a half native American son. He never had kids. 2. He didn't fight to the death with John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). 3. Very little is known about Fitzgerald other than he was on the expedition. Also, much of this story about Glass is unproven so calling it historically accurate is senseless. I actually read that when Glass finally tracked down Fitzgerald, he was working with the Army and was basically off limits. So, Glass simply walked up to him and took his rifle that Fitzgerald took from him as he lay dying and then just left... supposedly

A fair bit of the Blackkklansman movie was made up (i.e. the bombing plot line), but a lot of it did actually happen. I read the book shortly before the movie came out, and it was fascinating.

Apollo 13 has already been mentioned so I will choose a few others. The events of 13 Days really happened and it was the closest we came to war with the Soviet Union. While it was a dramatization A League of Their Own actually happened and some of the women ball players from the league were in the movie. Finally even though it was hokie Atomic Twister actually happened. The main difference is that the second twister had hit the town itself and they moved the setting to Tennessee.

For the "Alive" is the 1993 version. I like this version. Now we have a new version "Society of the Snow." I haven't seen this one. I hope I can see it soon. The 1993 is a good version as good as the book. Sometime for me, books made into a movie are a disappointment; not with Alive. enjoy the book too. In addition, there are other version around the world made in other countries and other languages in the 70's. Hard to say which if the most realistic. You would need to see them all.

It is interesting that James Franco was in 2 of the most accurate films of all time...too bad he is also accurate at dating 17 year olds - and I love Danny Boyle (minus The Beach) and my favorite band is Phish which is only played to my knowledge in 1 film the song Sleeping Monkey while James is still not alone yet but flirting w 2 hippy girls earlier (he should have not played Phish my wife hates the band too and perhaps he would have 2 arms and hands)
