Wonderland with Val Kilmer, Christina Applegate, and Josh Lucas- among many other phenomenal talented actors and actresses about John Holmes and his life after porn
Being someone that has loved High School Musical to death since I was a little kid, Zac Efron is probably the last person I’d expect to portray someone as atrocious at Ted Bundy.
Bundy was extremely charismatic, it’s how he got his victims - and if I recall correctly how he was able to excape justice for so long as well - so the “too charismatic” critique makes no sense.
It makes people extremely uncomfortable when you point this out. We like to believe that we would be smart enough to recognize a serial killer in our midst. But this brings it out that anyone anywhere could be a victim, and maybe even someone you know and like could be hiding a dark side you know nothing about. That's why many people instinctively fight that characterization, despite it being accurate.
And from what I understand, at the time he was considered at least mildly attractive, which combined with charisma would have made a deadly combination
I thought the same thing about the “too charismatic” comment…that’s what made him such a prolific killer is was considered attractive to the ppl of the time and he was charismatic.
@@ahub87 Precisely. A less charismatic actor would’ve not been believable in the role of a serial kill3r famous for luring his victim exactly with his charisma and charm.
Check out "Anatomy of a Murder" (1959) with James Stewart. A courtroom drama based on real events, it was largely filmed in the actual courthouse where the original trial took place and even included some of the original jury members recreating their roles.
„All the President‘s Men“ is a fascinating film because it is such an atypical Hollywood movie that it should have been a guaranteed box office bomb - and maybe that‘s exactly what made it so successful. No action sequences, no love story, no over-explaining of facts. The villain remains an abstract „them“ with no screen time. It is all dialogue from the beginning to the end, and at 100 mph with everybody talking over one another. If you are not up to date with politics (and, watching it today, with American history) or if you can‘t focus for more than ten minutes, you are completely lost. - Despite all this - or better, because of all this, the movie became an instant classic and has aged very well. That‘s because it has the courage to trust the class of its great cast, the power of the story and the audience‘s intelligence. It is the epitome of the 70s political cinema, one of the best examples of the New Hollywood era.
The Frozen Ground should've definitely been on here. About the serial killer Robert "The Butcher Baker" Hansen, in Alaska. They even filmed it IN Alaska & recreated the story & scenes in some of the exact places they actually happened all that time ago. It was a pretty damn good movie.
It’s not a film, but Narcos was pretty historically accurate. They even asked his son what discrepancies there were and he said one of the only major things that wasn’t accurate was the size of the houses that Pablo fled to when he was on the run. Other than that, it’s pretty solid.
Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story was easily THE most accurate portrayal of his life and crimes I've ever seen, to the point that it seemed a bit odd that they left out his beloved childhood dog, Frisky (I'm betting it was on purpose, because giving a character a dog has always been movie and TV shorthand for "this character is a good guy"). The "Des" TV miniseries was also excellent. Highly recommended.
I absolutely love when movies get the actual people involved in the real life occurrences for the movie. They're not crime movies but World Trade Center is another one that was so accurate one of the officers portrayed, John McLoughlin, had to leave the set multiple times. Both McLoughlin and William Jimeno had small parts in the film as well.
You forgot public enemies !! They nailed it with the actors and locations Gigantically under rated Johnny Depp nailed John Dillinger They got the historical facts right
While I know its not a movie but Narcos first 2 seasons about Pablo was done very well and accurate. a mixture of drama, crime, and a little bit of documentary to an extent.
great list i think Zac Efron were underrated as Ted Bundy, he really was amazing and for me is the best portrait of Ted even with no killing scenes and what about black mass, donnie brasco, truth & lions for lambs of robert redford, public enemy, the mauritanian and more recently killers of the flower moon??
I thought it was really tasteful and decent of them to not show any of the actual murders in Shockingly Evil and Vile. It would have been unnecessary and exploitative.
Zodiac is a great movie and very well-researched with what was available, but it makes Arthur Leigh Allen look like a stronger suspect than he is actually is considered to be
I think it's more likley to get one than others. Like a movie based on a historical event is alot less likley to be accurate than a crime event. Even TV series who just show the facts are even better to boot.
Also do not pull out of a bite. Push into the mouth while holding the head and it opens the jaw. If you pull out you can lose flesh. This works with human bites too.
I actually quit the homegold company 4 days before the stuff went down and they got shut down. Idk if that movie made it on here, im bored but yeah bale, pitt, carrell, that movie
Pretty sure nobody likes The Assassination of Jesse James. But some critics said people should like it so that’s the story we’re running with. I tried to watch it 10 years ago. I’m only halfway through it 😂
I don't know why Goodfellas is on here though from what I heard Henry hyped himself up for it,,, and I heard Paulie was such a scumbag even raping girls and Henry's wife while he was away
I have the same date of birth as one of the days of Ted Bundy’s victims was attacked, granted my bday was like 15 years AFTER the attack, on that date but I have ALWAYS been incredibly fascinated with Ted Bundy. I used to make jokes and say I was going to buy a 1970’s brown punch bug, and get a bumper sticker made, “Ted Bundy Style” and Zac Efron absolutely blew me away with his Bundy portrayal 😍🖤😍
Not trying to be condesending but Bundy killed I think over 30 victims that we know of. Therefore having the same birthday as one of his attacks is close to 9%, slightly less likely than being naturally brunette. I think your fasination with Bundy has probably less to do with your birthday than some other factors (like interest in true crime, psychology or serial killers for instance).
Being someone that has loved High School Musical to death since I was a little kid, Zac Efron is probably the last person I’d expect to portray someone as atrocious at Ted Bundy.

Number 5 is why I think Zac Efron is a really good actor and why I have hopes that he will do well in The Iron Claw.
He’s playing the Von Erich who still alive He’s going to be great in it But Lip and the person playing David aren’t
I agree 💯
I'm not gonna watch the film till it streams, I wouldn't wanna break down in the theatre....
@@michaelmendoza6557 Be an Man
If they do the gun store story in the movie, Efron will be great in that scene

What’s funny is he did a good job with it. He played the charming guy with something lurking underneath really well
I felt that way when Mark Harmon played him in the movie The deliberate stranger. It took a long time for me to get him out of my head as ted bundy
Kind of wish Will Arnett played Bundy lol
And THIS is why he was the best choice, he literally gave same energy to people as real Ted did
Bundy was extremely charismatic, it’s how he got his victims - and if I recall correctly how he was able to excape justice for so long as well - so the “too charismatic” critique makes no sense.

@@byMidnyt Absolutely. 👍👍 What I meant to point out was the ridiculousness and (to stay in theme) inaccuracy of the critique itself.

I got news for you. This is the first time I looked at a mojo countdown and not only agreed with the picks but agreed with the countdown.
The Frozen Ground should've definitely been on here. About the serial killer Robert "The Butcher Baker" Hansen, in Alaska. They even filmed it IN Alaska & recreated the story & scenes in some of the exact places they actually happened all that time ago. It was a pretty damn good movie.
The Wolf of Wall Street except for a few Hollywood extras felt pretty accurate.
I watched this movie in my highschool journalism class!! Inspired me to pick journalism as my college major! And, I still love History 😁
“Funny!? Funny how!? Funny like a clown!? Like I amuse you!?” 🤣🤣🤣
It’s not a film, but Narcos was pretty historically accurate.
They even asked his son what discrepancies there were and he said one of the only major things that wasn’t accurate was the size of the houses that Pablo fled to when he was on the run.
Other than that, it’s pretty solid.
So how high would "Killers of the Flower Moon" rank on this list?
Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story was easily THE most accurate portrayal of his life and crimes I've ever seen, to the point that it seemed a bit odd that they left out his beloved childhood dog, Frisky (I'm betting it was on purpose, because giving a character a dog has always been movie and TV shorthand for "this character is a good guy").

Dog Day Afternoon for sure 1975 movie Al Pacino????

You forgot public enemies !!
They nailed it with the actors and locations
Gigantically under rated
Johnny Depp nailed John Dillinger
They got the historical facts right

Dog Day Afternoon is a great film about true life crime.
Zodiac is a great movie and very well-researched with what was available, but it makes Arthur Leigh Allen look like a stronger suspect than he is actually is considered to be
Motley Crue's The Dirt should be on here, the band said the movie was accurate and they broke an average of 74 laws every minute of the film 😆
It wasn't that accurate and they changed a lot of things from the novel it was adapted from.
@@Reanimator1x The opening scene was accurate according to the band, and it was the most wild part 🔥
I think it's more likley to get one than others.
Like a movie based on a historical event is alot less likley to be accurate than a crime event.
Even TV series who just show the facts are even better to boot.
Yeah Jordan Belfort said he really did crash the boat and he said they not only did a lot of drugs but probably more than they did in the movie 😂.
Donnie Brasco
How about Donnie Brasco?
What about rise of the footsoldier ? Based on the real events of the essex boys rise and murder
How about Boston strangler on Hulu that came out earlier this year.
Killer of the Flower Moon will be HIGHLY RATED once its been out for awhile!!
Also do not pull out of a bite. Push into the mouth while holding the head and it opens the jaw. If you pull out you can lose flesh. This works with human bites too.
How accurate would Monster be ?
There's actually a metric crap ton of inaccuracies in the Bundy movie I was astounded those same people did the singularly fact based Bundy Tapes doc.
Knowing victims ofthe Catholic Church that movie really hit home.
It's not surprising that whenever victims of pedophilia try to report the perps, they are ignored, laughed at, ostracized or anything of the sort.

Who narrates this video? So familiar. A true crime podcast voice?
There are so many movies and documentaries about Ted Bundy that I have Ted Bundy fatigue. Everyone knows everything about Ted Bundy by now.
Casino ?
Sad thing is 'in cold blood' is not on AFI top 100
Dubkirk was supposedly exactly like it really was, from a veteran who was there and saw the movie

The Departed - Accurate portrayal of Irish mobsters
Oppenheimer is really historical accurate. The untergang is another historical accurate movie.
Pretty sure nobody likes The Assassination of Jesse James. But some critics said people should like it so that’s the story we’re running with. I tried to watch it 10 years ago. I’m only halfway through it 😂
Without a doubt, that is one of the stupidest comments I have ever read in my years using UA-cam.

I feel like killing of flower moon accurate crime movie it was with was left out of this list

goodfellas was far from true. henry hill exaggerated his experiences and involvement

Might want to do "copious amounts of research" in a thesaurus. It'll prevent redundancy.

It's based on True Story..

Donnie Branco.
I don't know why Goodfellas is on here though from what I heard Henry hyped himself up for it,,, and I heard Paulie was such a scumbag even raping girls and Henry's wife while he was away
