And 'The Big Short' which is about the financial crisis of 2008 but told in an engaging and unique way.

'The Lost Battalion' is based on a true story. It focuses on the 77th Division of the United States Army during World War I. They found themselves surrounded by the Germans in the Argonne Forest. The film shows their struggle for survival and how they held out against great odds.

Well, 'World Trade Center' can also be considered in a way. It's about the real - life rescue efforts of firefighters at the World Trade Center during the 9/11 attacks. It shows their courage and determination in the face of such a huge disaster.

A great example is 'Goodfellas'. It's based on the true - life story of Henry Hill, a mobster. The movie gives an inside look into the life of the mafia, their code, and how they operate. 'Donnie Brasco' is also based on a true crime story. It shows the relationship between an FBI agent and a mobster. The agent infiltrates the mafia to gather information. And '12 Years a Slave' is based on the true story of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery.

A third example could be 'Poltergeist'. It was loosely based on some reports of poltergeist activity. The movie shows a family dealing with unexplained and often violent paranormal events in their home.

One example could be 'The Conjuring' series. It is based on the real - life cases of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Yes, 'The Silence of the Lambs' is somewhat based on true events. While not strictly a 'cannibal film' in the most extreme sense, it was inspired by real - life serial killers. The character of Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant but deranged psychiatrist who is also a cannibal, is one of the most iconic in cinema. His character draws from the study of real - life criminals who exhibit extreme and abnormal behaviors.

One well - known film is 'Prefontaine'. It's based on the true story of Steve Prefontaine, a famous American long - distance runner.
