🧋🤠 🎬 👊 thank you @cypheria078 Tom for this very interesting challenge! 

 

CHALLENGE 31 : DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN ?

 

Braveheart - Braveheart follows the story of its protagonist William Wallace, who leads the people of Scotland against its invaders, that were the English. It depicts the battle of Stirling Bridge, which was a true event in history. The plot of the movie revolves around Wallace's life, until his death, and his sacrifice for his country.

Schindler’s List - Oskar Schindler was a real man who really did own a factory, and he actually did help hundreds of Jews escape death during the Holocaust. Further, the unfettered brutality of the Nazi regime, and the horrors of the event, are on full display in the film.

Psycho - Psycho was based on Robert Bloch’s book and according to Chameleontruecrimestories.com, Bloch wrote the book thinking about a killer named Ed Gein. Bloch lived in Wisconsin and Gein was arrested only 50 miles from where he lived, so he took an interest.

The Exorcist - Perhaps the scariest Exorcist fact of all is that it was based on a true story. In 1949, the real exorcism of a boy known as Roland Doe became international news and inspired the writing of the script. The boy’s real name was never released, but it has been confirmed that his exorcisms were performed in Cottage City, Maryland.

Tombstone - Tombstone is inspired by a true story. Written by Kevin Jarre, it is loosely based on the records of the O.K. Corral shootout and the Earp Vendetta Ride. While some creative liberties have been taken in the film, its depiction of the events surrounding Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, along with the rest of the motley crew, is fairly accurate.

Challenge #31,

thank you very much Tom @cypheria078  😉

for this new challenge which I attach a certain importance to because I tend to prefer films from a true story, it's a different atmosphere when watching and I like that, knowing that  it happened  😎

I'm happy to present to you our next challenge.

 

Challenge

The Villains!

Here are my picks for Challenge 30, @extantsrevenge! 
 

1. Darth Vader

2. Khan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Hannibal Lecter

 

4. Agent Smith

 

5. The Joker

 

As far as which is my favorite, I’m gonna go with Heath Ledger’s The Joker in The Dark Knight. I absolutely love how this character was handled here, and the way Nolan treats him as a pure chaos agent with little motivations beyond anarchy. Plus Ledger’s performance was just brilliant.

2. Argo is based on a true story about the CIA using a fake sci-fi film as a cover to rescue American hostages being held in Tehran.

 

3. Braveheart is based on the First Scottish War for Independence and may be one of the most historically inaccurate films ever made according to critics. 😂

[Steelbook Indy]

Thanks @extantsrevenge for challenge 30 with the villains!

 

My top five favorite villains are as follows:

 

1.  Amon Goeth - this is one of the great acted roles of all time.  It cast Ralph Fiennes into the lime light with his first Oscar nomination.  The essence of Fiennes’ Goeth is that he’s both disgusting and charismatic at the same time.  He is The Devil captured in human form.

 

2. Hans Gruber - to me Rickman’s Gruber is the greatest fictional movie villain of all time.  It’s tragic that Rickman never received an Oscar nomination - especially for this role.  Die Hard isn’t the same movie without Rickman playing Gruber.

 

3. The Joker - Heath Ledger was taken for too soon from us.  His Joker earned him a Best Supporting Oscar and became the new standard for playing villains.  He was the most worn Halloween costume of 2008.  

 

4. Biff Tannen - Tom Wilson hasn’t played a role more remembered than Biff.  Though he becomes a darker caricature of his initial role in consequent sequels, none of the performances are as fun as the first BttF.

5. Tyler Durden - I can’t talk about him.

My favorite villain of all time is a television character.

[Peter M]

 

Thanks to @cypheria078 for creating this challenge # 31. Did that really happen?

 

 

Here is my 5 favorites that I've selected from my collection. Some are based on true events, some are biopics and some are a mixture of both.

 

 

 

1. Malcolm X (An awesome biopic from when he use to be 'Detroit Red' in his earlier days in life to when he transformed to actually becoming Malcolm X)

 

2. Richard Jewell (Based on the true story of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing and the security guard who noticed something suspicious)

 

3. Donnie Brasco (Based on the real life events of Joseph Pistone who infiltrated on of the New York mafia families)

 

4. Tyson (It chronicles the upbringing and reputation of Mike Tyson from his childhood all the way to up to his retirement from boxing)

 

5. Catch Me If You Can (Based on a few true events in the early 19th century)

 

 

[Rambo]

thank you @extantsrevenge for the 30th challenge: The Villains!

 

 

My favorite would go to Art the Clown and honorable mentions to all the above. Pennywise, Immortan Joe, the Joker, Micheal Myers, Darth Vader and Xenomorphs all also rate very high on the list. 

[jwhitm3]

Challenge #31 there and back again.  A media psycos journey

 

As this challenge has taught me I do not have many true stories in my collection because this is all of them. I guess this is where my love of sci-fi/fantasy shines through.  Even of these 5 two of them are basically fantasy
