I only saw Black Hawk Down out of your list but I was not a big fan of BlackHawk down. Not enough character development. Then again it may be me being extremely picky because to be honest I was not a big fan of the Hurt Locker either. I find movies based on a true story don't usually develop characters too well. I think what gets me for these true story movies is the realization, somewhere through the movie, that Holy Crap, those guys really went through this........not sure if you saw Lone Survivor yet, but it's based on the same lines....USA troops in Afghanistan. 12 years a Slave is also one that hit me that way.....can't believe a human being would treat another that way.

Just finished Parkland and was really impressed. I didn't think I'd like it that much since it covered more of the hospital visit and didn't touch on conspiracy theories at all but it was excellent.

Surprises me that no one has listed "Silence of the Lambs".....This has to be my absolute most favorite. Anthony Hopkins scared the $hit out of me in this movie....but I loved every second of it. Also loved "Good Morning Vietnam", "Forrest Gump" and "Reservoir Dogs" (love the scene where "stuck in the middle with you" is playing as buddy dances around while slicing off an ear - WTF? ? Tarantino is a genius! I have more but these four immediately come to mind. Also just recently watched a documentary called "Searching for Sugarman" which is awesome. The music that this man made is excellent (if you like 70's tunes.....) Based on the story of Sixto Rodriguez. Loved it!...here is a little sample (of the music not the documentary...) Track 1 and 3 are a couple of my favorites...

We Are What We Are was really good. Great acting and a good twist to it. Heard they're making a prequel and sequel.
Escape Plan was decent as well. Stallone and Shwarch were looking pretty old LMAO fighting was weak ahah

Watched Scorned and it wasn't that good. I'd definitely pass.
McCord may be good looking but can't act to save her life.

Finished Bad Grampa last night , hilarious. A must see.
Picked up Fruitvale Station today , it's based on a true story about a fatal police shooting, it's certified fresh by rotten tomatoes which is rare.
