Office Space for the 4 years I was in the Military...

They're making the real story of Deep Throat. That will be my new favorite. I don't know if its going to be the fabled "Deeper Than Deep" thats has seemed to have vanished off the radar or another projest.

Its said "The Girl Next Door" is based the real life of Stacey Valantine. Shes sueing the makers for it

Rated X is cool too. Its about the Mitchell Brothers who produced a lot of early porn classics.

I can't get enough of porn history.

The Matrix,

Though not exactly real it does have some definate relations to life though a little more over the edge then real life I think the real message behind what happens in the matrix throught the course of the movie you could relate certian principals not exactly as they are put but in a differnt manner it is quite like what real life is... But if real life was that I want a dam matrix chair...

I liked "Brubaker" which was based on real life events at Cummins Prison farm in Arkansas.

Midway's alright.. it uses a lot of stock footage and has a lot of cheesy Charleton Heston saving the day.

Tora Tora Tora is fairly unique as it shows both sides of the attack, using an American and Japanese director respectively.

I like war movies, but they almost always show any combatants on the opposite side of the country who produced the film as slimy evil bastards.
I prefer to see soldiers portrayed as soldiers, regardless of their nationality. Cases in point: Das Boot, Tora Tora Tora, The Thin Red Line (1998).
