To Die For [1995]
Right up there with Fargo and other great black crime comedies, To Die For is one of the most underrated movies of the nineties.
Movies Based On True Events
The Good Nurse [2022]
Although I don’t like movies set in hospitals, The Good Nurse, following the real-life hunt for a different kind of serial killer was a must.
Only the Brave [2017]
Visually striking and featuring a compelling true story about a group of firefighters battling a fiery inferno, Only the Brave is a must-see.
Deepwater Horizon [2016]
Matching the huge scale of the disaster with stunning visuals and gripping storytelling, Deepwater Horizon is an intense experience.
Lonely Hearts [2006]
Perhaps a bit too aloof for a movie based on the hunt for two serial killers, Lonely Hearts is a light neo-noir thriller worth watching.
Million Dollar Arm [2014]
Based on a true story about a sports agent who goes to India to find talent, Million Dollar Arm is a charming and heartwarming sports comedy.
The Negotiator [1998]
Too contrived at times but never boring, The Negotiator is an intense hostage situation movie benefiting greatly from its experienced cast.
The Ruthless AKA Lo Spietato [2019]
Set during the lawless seventies and eighties, The Ruthless AKA Lo Spietato is an easygoing and visually alluring Italian mafia movie.
Rush [1991]
Underrated, realistic, and based on real events, Rush is a story about two undercover cops who gazed into an abyss for too long.
Kajaki [2014]
Featuring an excellent cast, superb direction and intense atmosphere, Kajaki is a deeply traumatizing war movie based on real events.
Sulla Mia Pelle AKA On My Skin [2018]
I tend to avoid slow dramas featuring difficult stories that are hard to watch. Usually, there has to be something
In Cold Blood [1967]
Focused on the lives of two ice-cold killers, In Cold Blood is a gripping character study based on true events that will fuck you up.
