True story movies

A comedy drama about how small lies get pushed by ambitious people to become big flaming disasters. It's based on a real-life 70s to 80s scandal that put US senators in prison. The actors are great, the aesthetics are tacky but realistic, and the characters are believable. It's a good hustle story based on truth.

A crime drama thriller where each season is independent of each other. I recommend only watching seasons 1, 2 and 3 because later seasons fall off a cliff.

A brutal true story escape movie focused on understanding the misery of the group of people who escaped from Siberia.

A true story drama about a woman who makes millions by organizing poker games and the U.S. prosecution against her. It's to the point and doesn't waste time on filler.

The true story about a male nurse who murdered hundreds of patients across multiple hospitals, and the administrative malfeasance that allowed it to happen.

A comedy/drama that follows the rise and fall of a Wall Street broker. Has memorable moments and great cast/acting.

A crime drama about a con artist who forges checks to steal millions from banks around the US while dodging the FBI. Entertaining, based on a true story, funny.

A true story tragedy about unconventional people with unconventional ambitions in unconventional relationships.

A thriller/drama where a special agent infiltrates a money laundering operation for Pablo Escobar's cartel.

A comedy/drama where a vice president starts informing the FBI about his company's price fixing scheme. Great humor, entertaining, and a plot that goes down a strange winding path reserved for true stories.
