It is. I posted it. That's not based on a true story, Sergeant York is.

Based on the Apollo 13 lunar mission in 1970, Ron Howard's film follows the story of three astronauts desperately struggling to bring their ship back into Earth's orbit after an oxygen tank explodes, threatening their survival.

That was Cuba Gooding Jr.
That was really good.
He went full retard and got away with it.

I think it is basically based om a true story. The story of George Cohan?

Thank you all for reminding me of some really good movies to watch, some to watch 'again' and some we haven't seen.
Always looking for a good movie about life, not radical or real violent, I'm old.

Based upon the true story that Operation Overlord happened....Everything else is pretty much Disney with blood and guts.

Herb Brooks' "motivational speech" before the 3rd period of the gold medal game against Finland:

"Lose this game and you'll take it to your graves"...walks toward the door and turns around...."TO YOUR FUCKING GRAVES!"

True story.

We just watched this one,

Is that the movie with Art Carney? I saw that awhile back on DVD. I thought it was a documentary when I picked it up in the dollar bin.

Do you remember the name of that pathetic movie that won the Best Picture Oscar instead of Saving Private Ryan?
