Good flick, great book. It's about the trench warfare in ww1. Brutal stuff, if you consider what those guys went through. Around 1,000,000 men dead and neither side really achieved anything.

Answer 5

I know some people dispute this, but the Bible is a non-fiction book.  There are many movies based off the Bible.

I think the rest are mainly documentaries.

Answer 6

The only one I can really think of is The Diary of a Young Girl and the various adaptions for the big screen.

Answer 7

Freedom Writers

Answer 8

"The Great Escape", by Paul Brickhill. It's the true story of 76 Allied officers' escape from Stalag Luft III, a German prison camp during World War II. Told with dry humor by an ex-prisoner of the camp, it is an adventure story from the human extreme.

The movie is a classic war movie, endowed with the same wit and spirit as Brickhill intended. Directed by the great John Sturges (also directed "The Magnificent Seven"), the film stars Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, and James Coburn. Highly recommend it!
