The War of the Worlds.

Well, it was true for a while at least. I think that counts.

Interesting, I thought Into Thin Air the book was gripping, immersive and powerful, and the film turgid amateurish bollocks.

Apparently that aspect of it is completely overblown and hyped up.

Dead Snow?
Iron Sky?

In all seriousness though, I was impressed with Jack Strong - seemed cliched and unrealistic till you found out it was all true!

ooh, and "The Act of Killing" about the Indonesian Killings of 65-66. Director gets the killers themselves to act out the murders they carried out.
