Yes! We often read articles about the true events after we finish the movie and it adds so much meaning!

Would add that checking the actual historical record afterwards makes it a better lesson than the film itself. Saving this.

good points I pointed out red otober too. Perfect storm is based on a true event but not a true story. No none knows what went on on that ship.
inspiring engineering or animal movies could both use The Ghost and the Darkness with Val Kilmer. In fact, I might just have to watch that again great movie based on true events about a bridge builder hired to build an RR bridge in Africa but a couple wild man-eating lions kept picking off all the workers. Has Michel Dougless too.
Movie The Right Stuff could be good on the inspiring section too.

American history X is loosely based on a real story for historic movies with mature content.
