Films magically bring us to different worlds though there is something superb about those that are the real-life facts movies. Just as the tales of great successes to those of narrow escapes, these motion pictures give us a peep into the lives of some remarkable men and women whose lives the historical events had a major influence. Here, we will explore ten of the most captivating films that show history as it actually happened.
 

1. Good Morning Vietnam (1987)

Free from the interference of Barry Levinson and featuring the iconic Robin Williams, “Good Morning, Vietnam” was a humorous film based on the war in Vietnam, 1965. The film that takes lightly from the events of AFRS radio disc jockey Adrian Cronauer, makes you both laugh and become emotional. This is an example of how Williams can impress with the range of emotions during a tragedy time.

2. Cool Runnings (1993)

The movie "Cool Runnings" is a particularly touching film about a real story of the Olympic bobsledding team from Jamaica in their 1988 journey. The film provides a solid portrayal of teamwork and persistence. John Candy (the film's main actor) portrays exemplarily through the film, that even if it seems the underdogs have no chance of survival, these can be the ultimate fighters, with the ability to surprise at the international competition.

3. The Blind Side (2009).


The role of Sandra Bullock, who became the winner of the Oscar from the movie "The Blind Side" is, but she plays it. She used the real-life story of NFL player Michael Oher, who was a homeless person, but became a successful football player. 'The Big Short' (the movie based on the book 'The Big Short' by Michael Lewis) starts with a high schooler who spends a summer 'dealing on Wall Street' with consequences that greed brings.
 

4. A League of Their Own (1992).

We find out that the movie is about the League that existed in 1943 and 1954 and is directed by the film director Penny Marshall. The film ties its theme with female power in between also through those team members who not only achieve this by winning but also can help creating broader perspectives, which allow women to take new roles in sports.

5. Remember the Titans (2000).

While Denzel Washington appears as the titular character in "Remember the Titans," that is a drama movie which uses a story of high school boy team competing to integrate but failing boys in 1971 Caesaria of Virginia. When it is the team that is in focus and we should endure it at all costs (seeing the irony in this situation), the movie shows that we cannot tolerate prejudice and each of us has to do his or her bit for the cause.

6. Glory (1989)

"Glory" buckles the assumption of an all-Black infantry regiment, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, as one of the Union Army's first units during the American Civil War. Washington’s Oscar award-winning voice, the movie gives an insight into the experiences of African American soldiers who fought for liberty and delivered equality regardless of skin color.

7. Tombstone (1993)


Another remarkable movie that immerses one into the Hawaiian culture is Wind rider, directed by Rouben Mamoulian. Its main characters are both James Caan and Charlton Heston, and its screenplay tells the true story of the infamous O.K. Corral massacre. "The movie is capable of bringing up the true context of the Wild West by means of the forceful performances and tough action scenes it represents". Big Burn is a faraway land both in distance and time and it is home to living beings and places with larger-than-life features.

8. Goodfellas (1990)
 

His name is Martin Scorsese and his movie, "Goodfellas," is a drama film about a small gangster who (Henry Hill) likes and is obsessed with the life of a gangster, lived in the underground of New York. Perhaps, the aspect of crime and reality that resonates best with this movie, is how real behind what is true crime is fully depicted in the sad reality.

9. Apollo 13 (1995)


"Houston, we got a serious trouble". The Savior movie that dramatizes the Apollo-13 mission in 1970, it is one of the historical unpopular drama films ever. Screenplay of the Apollo 13 movie starring Tom Hanks who played an astronaut named Jim Lovell outstands one of the actors (a role). Collaborating on the making of this film, his fellow actors Kevin Bacon and Bill Paxon also acknowledged his acting, creating the feeling of their astronaut hero and the ground control at earth going head-to-head against time by having just to save the crew.

10. Schindler's List (1993)


The movie by Steven Spielberg called "Schindler's List" is an awesome account of one heroic man, Oskar Schindler, who was willing to sacrifice anything and whom nothing could stop in his efforts of saving Jews during the Holocaust. A defining characteristic of the film, which becomes a powerful paradigm of peoples’ resilience in the face of the horrors beyond imagination, is the Schindler’s acting itself, a man played by Liam Neeson.





 

While some films focus on delicate emotions such as sports dramas, others are heavy-hearted like historical epics – all these, nonetheless, look back on the past and honor the present by the magic of the film. Through portraying the real-life heroic people and important events which shaped our world, historical films make an impact, so they will never be ignored.
