I've had a real thing lately for some Based On A True Story/True Events movies. I guess it helps that Michael Lewis books translate favorably to film, but also there are many others unrelated to Markets Being Bad or whatever. Here are a sample of some I've watched that I liked quite a bit The Big Short Spotlight The Founder Moneyball JFK / Nixon / W. That Madoff movie coming on HBO this month might be good, too. What's a movie I should watch that's kind of a documentary but not actually?

While a bit loosely based at times, I remember enjoying Sergeant York(1941). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergeant_York_(film)

CNBC's Madoff Movie was better than HBO's Madoff Movie, but they both mostly told the story of life after the confession and arrest, and not the Actually Interesting poo poo that led up to it. They're both pretty good, but not places to go if you want to hear most of the story of what happened.

The Pentagon Wars needs some love. Funny because it is true and an HBO origional that was made before HBO orgionals were much of a thing.

You say that but The Fourth Kind came out in like 2008 or something.
