Best movies based on real life?

What do you guys consider the best films based on true/real events, people, etc.?

For me, two come to mind immediately:
-The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
-City of God

I'm sure there are tons of others, like biopics of course (Ray, Walk the Line, Malcom X, etc.). I don't really care for biopics all that much though.

Anyway, I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Diving bell is astounding...I have to agree.

For me, Schindler's list is the best I can think of.

Someone already made that joke up there and it wasn't funny then.

Still haven't seen Sophie Scholl. It's one of those dvds that I kept meaning to buy but got something else instead and then eventually forgot about it.

Wish i'd done the same with "The lives of others" which I thought was a horrendously boring and overrated steamer.

Is it because this is your thread? I think it's because this is your thread.

But no means the best, but a recent one that I liked was Defiance with James Bond and Victor Creed.

Why, "Milk", of course.

Thumbs up to "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" and "United 93". Both astonishingly powerful films.
