Even in Hollywood, truth can be stranger than fiction. You couldn't make up a story more inspiring than Erin Brockovich, more heart breaking than Schindler's List, more peculiar than Ed Wood or more outrageous than Stander. There's nothing quite like real life on the screen, intimate tales from Silkwood to Shine and sumptuous biopics like Gandhi and The Aviator. From Hotel Rwanda and The Insider to Goodfellas and Amadeus, have we got a true story for you!
