Movies
based
on
true
stories
aren't
usually
of
the
L-O-L
variety,
but
Eddie
Murphy
DEFINITELY
brings
the
lols
(and
the
drama)
in
this
movie
about
filmmaker
slash
stand-up
comedian
Rudy
Ray
Moore.
Moore's
on-stage
alter
ego
is
(you
guessed
it!)
Dolemite.
He
starts
to
gain
some
notoriety
with
his
outrageous
character
and
decides
he
wants
to
make
a
kung-fu,
anti-establishment
movie,
which,
yes,
sounds
like
a
weird
combination
but
trust
me,
it
works.
And
Eddie
Murphy
is
so
damn
good
in
this
role
you
won't
be
able
to
just
watch
it
once.-coms
are
great
and
all,
but
there's
no
better
(slash
more
intense)
feeling
than
getting
to
the
end
of
a
totally
wild
movie
and
seeing
the
words
“based
on
a
true
story”
pop
up
on
your
screen.
With
your
jaw
dropped,
you
whip
out
your
phone
and
start
frantically
googling
to
find
out
what
actually
happened.
More
often
than
not,
the
producers
probably
even
had
to
cut
a
few
details
from
the
script
to
fit
the
plot
into
a
reasonable
feature-length
film,
and
you
gotta
know
all
there
is
to
know
about
this
story!The
truth
is,
a
lot
of
our
favorite
movies
are
inspired
by
100
percent
real
events.
I
mean,
who
can
forget
Zac
Efron
taking
on
the
role
of
the
handsome
and
charming—yet
completely
evil—serial
killer
Ted
Bundy?
Or
Timothée
Chalamet
rocking
it
as
Henry
V
of
England
in
the
historical
period
piece,
The
King?
I
guess
it
just
goes
to
show
that
when
it
comes
to
writing
fascinating
tales
of
intrigue
and
deception,
you
literally
cannot
always
make
that
sh*t
up.
So
the
next
time
you’re
looking
for
a
movie
that's
as
entertaining
as
it
is
factual
(because,
come
on,
we
don’t
all
have
time
to
read
the
book
first),
all
you
need
to
do
is
ready
the
popcorn,
‘cause
we’ve
got
you
covered
with
these
30
excellent
movies
based
on
true
stories.
And
yeah,
they're
all
available
to
stream
on
Netflix.
