127 Hours
Aron Lee Ralston’s autobiography Between a Rock and a Hard Place pens the brutal tale of how an outdoorsman was pushed to unspeakable circumstances in order to survive. In case you watched 127 Hours starring James Franco, then you know the story. Ralston was forced to amputate his own arm with a dull pocketknife after he became trapped in a dislodged boulder. He was stuck at Blue John Canyon for five days and seven hours. i.e. 127 hours.

Remember The Titans
“Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” is as iconic as the story of African-American coach Herman Boone. Boone, as you know, attempted to integrate T. C. Williams High School’s football team in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1971. Together with Bill Yoast, the assistant coach, and various athletes on the field, we are presented with a classic flick. However the “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” fairytale isn’t exactly historically accurate. In real life, Boone is a hard man who causes some athletes to quit the team, Bertier’s accident took place AFTER the Championship game, and countless other facts.
