'Argo' -- and other true stories
It's no secret that Hollywood loves a true story -- form biopics to historical dramas, these movies dominate awards and rule the box office.
But sometimes a movie's inspiration is stranger than your standard biopic.

Check out these other surprising films that were inspired by real-life events. Some of them stick closer to the facts than others, but they all have a kernel of truth at their core. |
