July Movie Marathon:
Based on a True Story
I decided to do a month long marathon this month. The way I decided to do this one is if it just claims to be based on a true story I will allow it... whether I believe the claim or not... or how much of the claim I believe. They claim it... it is allowed in this marathon.

My True Story Collection:
Titles in bold are films I never seen.
Titles in italic are films I have seen but been many years.

A real feel good movie. One I couldn't recommend high enough. An excellent story that is wonderfully done. After finishing this film... I immediately felt like I could watch it again. If that isn't a sign of an excellent film... I don't know what is.

My Thoughts:

I actually enjoyed this one more then I expected to. A true love story that will put you through some emotions. Without going into detail about it.... I both liked and disliked how this story ended. But that is one thing I like about true stories... a happy ending is not guaranteed. Not that this is an unhappy ending... it just could have been happier. This one is definitely worth the time put in to watch it. Recommended.
