Programmes/Films that create conversation

I have grown over time to take a liking to watching programmes based on real events (I appreciate that some poetic license is put into them). Such films as;
Hidden Figures
The imitation Game
The Impossible
Unbroken
Sully
12yrs a Slave
Kinky boots
The Theory of Everything
Schindlers List
Finding Neverland
Eddy the Eagle
The Kings Speech
In the Heart of the Sea
Hacksaw Ridge

Also documentaries such as;
The Central Park 5
Making a Murderer (I’m still not sure Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey are guilty)
Three Identical Strangers


What documentaries/films based on true events have you watched/enjoyed that have sparked debate as a result of watching them?

 

Elf.

It’s vivid portrayal, relevant to this time of year, of one of the component parts of the big commercial machine that is Xmas is thought provoking.

 

I can honestly say that I find that one of the most irritating films I have ever had to endure watching.

 

Loose women

 

Think you've missed the point .... That is based on one of your many fantasies

 

I’m with you on this. I like Will Ferrell, and people kept saying, oh you must watch Elf....well I did and I thought it was t0ss

 

I think it taps in to the geo economic zeitgeist if it’s time, and is still relevant in today’s troubled times.....it truly is a cross generation clarion call for us all.

 

BIG - surely that was based on real life

 

Regrettably, particularly for the younger generations, it's any "reality" show!

 

Pornhub

 

Saw that on pornhub.

 

Friday the 13th. Very relative , as it was only last week.

 

Not yet got round to that series but am currently watching The Blind Side

 

I, Daniel Blake is a worthy entry into this list.
Das Boot very insightful
and we should not forget the long running analysis of behaviour......
Star Trek

 

Back on topic, couple of films I enjoyed, seen most of the ones you mentioned and a few to add to the list.

Pursuit of happyness
First they killed my father
Rush
Green Book
