Thanks for sharing this!
 
 Some additional films that come to mind for me:
 
 - Beyond the Sea [Bobby Darin biopic]
 - The Other Boleyn Girl

Yeah, I thought that it was kind of interesting and helpful. The average person will tend to believe whatever is in the movie version of any given subject.
 
 Apparently, the film 24 Hour Party People had a lot of inaccuracies in it but I really couldn't tell you exactly what. Maybe Mankie can fill us in with a few of them.

 Wow!
 
 
 Gene Simmons ain't got shit on Genghis Khan!

I thought the Houdini punch had been nixed.

I'm surprised Braveheart or U-571 didn't make that list.
