I have watched some other movies that are very good, which are based on true events. Some of them, disturbing, although great movies.
Heart: The Marilyn Bell Story
Seven Years in Tibet
The Tunnel
A River Runs Through It
Silkwood
North Country
Finding Neverland
Hotel Rwanda
Freedom Writers
We Were Soldiers
Angelia's Ashes
Sophie Scholl: The Final Days
The Rosa Parks Story
The Burning Bed
Amazing Grace
This is what I can think of, right off the top of my head. This is my favorite type of movie. I have watched very many, more than I can think of. I know I am missing very many and some are so disturbing to me, I don't want to recall them.

M$One of the biggest parts and things behind the movie is showing the love that one father has for his daughter, even though he suffers from mental disabilities, is just moving. He fights to keep her and raise her, and eventually is allowed to be in her life. I love movies that are based on real life events especially when the movie has a happy ending!
