    Best movie based on a true story that I have seen is "Radio".

    (BTW...if you read more bios on Edie Sedgewick several segments of "Factory Girl" are nearly fiction compared to facts, much like "Gridiron Gang")

    After that would be:

    "Catch Me If You Can"

    "Erin Brockovich"

    "Mask"

    "Silkwood"

    2nd but still nearly not true:

    "Hotel Rwanda"
