24 Hour Party People
Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll
The Pianist
Eddie the Eagle
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Defiance

I think City of God was loosely based on true events as well.
 
Argo

Good fillum and very true to actual events except for one detail. When the American staff left their embassy compound they said they first went to the British embassy but were turned away before being taken in by the Canadian embassy. This never happened. Why did they feel the need to put that in?
 
U571
Pearl Harbor
That Scottish "Freedom!!!" one
The Patriot
Neither are remotely true stories other than the fact there was a Scotsman called William Wallace. The scene where the British herded the Americans into a church and set it fire fire was based on a similar incident that happened in France just after D Day

The Dambusters
The man who never was
Khartoum
A captains tale
United 93 (which is scary as I'm about to board a flight to Boston)
Patriots day
Carve her name with pride
When we were soldiers

Sid & Nancy
La Bamba
The Buddy Holly Story
Rocketman
