Real life is often more fantastical than the stories that are told in movies, so it makes sense that many of the greatest films of all time are biopics. Incredible biopics like Schindler’s List and Malcolm X have the power to tell inspiring stories about real figures from history. Not every biopic is necessarily based entirely accurate; in fact, many of the best biopics are only loosely based on real events. Still, the stories at their center are rooted in something true, making them even more compelling.
