Based on a True Story: Survival, Sports & Heroism
Added 2025-05-26 04:58:01 +0000 UTCOkay, wow! I did not realize how many movies are technically “based on a true story.” Once I started putting a list together (and reading through all your amazing suggestions), it just kept growing! From survival stories tobiopics, courtroom and war; there’s honestly so much to choose from. I split them into four polls to keep it manageable, some may be a bit of a category stretch but I tried my best!
One vote per poll, I can't decide if the top winner from each poll should go in a final poll?
Ps-I have seen a lot of based on true stories throughout the channel and before (captain phillips, zero dark thirty, a beautiful mind, catch me if you can, the imitation game, social network, argo, the fighter, the kings speech etc!
pms-guys I really underestimated how busy it would be for wedding week/last week of school/full house of family staying here/kids puking and touched by a monster is going to be late. I am so sorry but great news-Carly had a beautiful wedding day yesterday and smiled the whole day. So excited for her next chapter!

"Eight men Out " a respectable 3rd place. De Niro is awesome.

Somehow people like fires on oil rigs. Sleepers ? again with that hateful vulgar mouthed creep De Niro.

2025-05-28 19:35:54 +0000 UTCWe get it Clay, you like this type of movie. Not everyone does though. If she does watch The Pianist that’s 5 movies slots taken by based on movies, odds are that at least 2 of them won’t do particularly well on YouTube. Doing all of these at once just bogs down the channel in one genre for too long of a time. It’s not like they can only do this poll once.

2025-05-28 10:29:03 +0000 UTCThe 4 winners will be a wide breadth of content. Plus, all high quality movies. This is a great and rare opportunity for the channel to get 4 diverse and high quality movies for reaction. Plus, way too much work/effort in compiling these movies/polls to distill down to merely 1-2 movies. Take advantage of having 4 polls (40 good movies total) to give 4 movies for reaction.
