List of Movies Based on True Stories and Movies Based on Actual Events Seen on Lifetime Movie Network, Encore and Truemovies.tv


A Note: Most of the movies in the list are movies that have been ADVERTISED as movies based on true stories or movies inspired by actual events. There are also movies included that were not advertised as movies based on true stories, but are 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.
