List of Movies that are SIMILAR to Real Life Events

Here is a list of movies that I am working on that are similar to real life events or true stories. The original list (found above) are movies that have been ADVERTISED as movies based on true stories or movies inspired by actual events. This list, however, is for movies that were not advertised as movies based on true stories, but they were DEFINITELY inspired by or LOOSELY based on real life events that occurred before the movie premiered. Most of the events in these movies will be completely made up, but there will be key elements in the film that you movie and true crime buffs will recognize very quickly.

Hit and Run Starring Laura Breckenridge

Movies Based on True Stories about Adoptions and Long Lost Loved Ones

Here are a few movies that are based on true stories that have to do with adoptions and long lost children or long lost mothers.

Deep in My Heart
A good movie about a woman trying desperately to find her real mom who gave her up for adoption when she became pregnant after she was violated by a man.


Where Are My Children
These children were taken away from their single mom while she spent a couple of days in jail. When she returned her children were gone. She didn't find them for years! (Children's Home Society Adoption Scandal)


What Makes a Family
This movie pulls at your heart strings. It's a fact based movie about a gay couple who have a baby. When one of the women dies, the other partner tries desperately to adopt the baby. (based on a landmark case)
