- Titanic. Released: 1997. Rated: PG-13. Memorable quote: “A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets.” Twenty-five years after its release, our hearts still go on for James Cameron’s Academy Award–winning romantic drama.
- 12 Years a Slave. Released: 2013. Rated: R. Memorable quote: “I don’t want to survive. I want to live.” It is nearly impossible for a movie based on a true story to avoid taking any creative license, but 12 Years a Slave comes very close.
- Argo. Released: 2012. Rated: R. Memorable quote: “This is what I do. I get people out. And I’ve never left anyone behind.” Despite being a gripping spy thriller based on the very real extrication of six American diplomats from Iran in 1980 by CIA operative Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck, who also directed the movie), this film took a lot of creative license.
- Hidden Figures. Released: 2016. Rated: PG. Memorable quote: “On any given day, I analyze the velometer levels for air displacement, friction and velocity. And compute over 10,000 calculations by cosine, square root and lately analytic geometry by hand.”

They say art imitates life, especially in the case of movies that are based on a true story. Whether you’re interested in historical events or iconic biopics, here are the best true story-based movies and shows to stream now.
- All the President's Men (1976) Film. Drama. Wait, you’re telling us Watergate is an actual thing that happened, and in 1974 two reporters really did take down a sitting US president?
- In Cold Blood (1967) Film. Before true crime podcasts and Dateline NBC marathons, there was Truman Capote, whose account of the 1959 massacre of a family in rural Kansas shocked a nation not yet desensitised to random acts of unspeakable violence.
- Hustlers (2019) Film. Drama. A rare depiction of a r ecession that’s neither a teary drama about farmers losing their homes nor a political screed against greedy one-percenters, Hustlers is instead a hyperkinetic story of economic survival, set in a world hit particularly hard by the 2008 financial crisis: New York strip clubs.
- Argo (2012) Film. Drama. It’s one of those stories too far-fetched for even the most inventive screenwriter to make up. At the onset of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, a movie-loving CIA agent hatched a plot to smuggle six diplomats out of the country by pretending to be a Canadian film crew shooting a fake Star Wars-alike sci-fi flick there.
- A Very English Scandal (2018) This three-episode miniseries follows the publicized trial of British Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe (Hugh Grant) who is charged with conspiracy to commit murder against his ex-lover (Ben Whishaw).
- Alias Grace (2017) From the mind of author Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace dramatizes the grisly homicide of Thomas Kinnear and his lover, Nancy Montgomery, in 1843 Toronto.
- American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson (2016) Winning nine Emmys and shocking audiences in spite of its well-known source material, the first season of American Crime Story focuses on the biggest pre-internet event of the 1990s: the trial of O.J.
- Band of Brothers (2001) Based on the book of the same name by Stephen E. Ambrose, Band of Brothers is a 10-episode miniseries about the "Easy Company," a.k.a.
