Number 10 Gangs of New York To defeat my enemy, I extinguish his life and consume him as I consume these flames.

This Martin Scorsese epic was based on Herbert Asbury's The Gangs of New York on Informal History of the Underworld, which was published in 1927.

1 of the major departures from reality is the depiction of Bill.

The butcher bill is based on the historic William Poole, but pool was murdered a decade before the draft riots began and reportedly never killed anyone.

In fact, the level of violence in general was often criticized as being a pure Hollywood fabrication.

The massive gang fight depicted at the beginning of the film is also entirely fictional, but gang battles did occur on occasion.

There were also no Navy ships to quell the riots, and the amount of Chinese Americans in New York was greatly exaggerated.

Number nine Cool Runnings This feel good comedy concerns the debut of the Jamaican bobsledding team at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics.

Suffice it to say it has been very Disney fied.

The biggest fabrication is the bobsled competition itself.

For one thing, the Jamaican athletes were not treated as outsiders, and the American team even helped them out by lending them a sled.

Secondly, the team had absolutely no shot at winning a medal, despite what the movie would have you believe now.

E going to be able to hold the crash was also not the result of a mechanical failure but shoddy and inexperienced driving and that feel good crossing of the finish line to raucous applause.

Yeah, it was more of a defeated limp, with sporadic and tepid encouragement, a disappointment for them.

I'm sure that they're not able to complete the event, but maybe they should just be thankful that they're able to walk away.

The Imitation game In this film, Benedict Cumberbatch portrays Alan Turing, a genius who revolutionized the concept of theoretical computer science and helped decrypt German messages during World War Two.

Even before the movie was released, it received controversy for downplaying Turing's homosexuality and casting bombshell Keira Knightley as the so called plain Joan Clarke.

I am a candidate for what position didn't say precise, and while cheering did have eccentricities, he wasn't nearly a socially awkward is portrayed in the film.

Turing, supposed suicide is also extensively debated to this day, with some experts even claiming that his death was purely accidental.

And that's not even touching on all the enigma inaccuracies.

Like portraying Turing is a one man forced when he was actually part of a massive collaboration.

Despite being an exceptional and inspiring sports movie, Rudy is greatly exaggerated.

The story concerns Daniel Rudy Rudiger, a man who desperately wanted to play for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish despite being just 56 and £165 a massive deviation concerns coach Dan Devine and the famous Jersey protest scene.

Divine was greatly vilified for the movie, but by all accounts he was actually very encouraging.

That whole laying down the jerseys thing also never happened, and Divine told the Houston Chronicle that it and his role in it were unforgivable.

The crowd also never chanted Rudy's name before he was placed in the game.

That said he did actually record a sack and was carried off the field.

A Beautiful Mind This Russell Crowe led film was adapted from a Pulitzer nominated biography of famed mathematician John Nash Jr Nash suffered greatly from mental illness and was eventually treated for paranoid schizophrenia.

And while the movie stayed true to the spirit of Nash's story, it ignored a few key details.

In 1953 Nash fathered an illegitimate child with Eleanor Steer and went on to ignore both Eleanor and their son.

When they finally met in person, an ill Nash thought his son would play Quote an essential and significant role in his personal, long awaited gay liberation.

He also didn't have a good relationship with Alicia Lard, and he was not asked to give a Nobel Prize acceptance speech owing to his mental instability.

My quest has taken me through the physical metaphysical, the delusional on back number five Argo.

There's no denying that Argo is an exceptionally made movie.

Oscar nominations can attest to that, but it's nowhere near historically accurate.

The film was accused of whitewashing and the casting of Tony Mendez and Coral Eaec.

It was also fiercely criticized for exaggerating the CIA's role in the caper, with ex President Jimmy Carter even admitting that quote 90% of the contributions to the ideas and the consummation of the plan was Canadian.

Britain and New Zealand were also cheesed with their depictions as they never turned away the American refugees.

And finally, the tense climactic moment where it seems like the group will be caught.

This is a Michael Bay film through and through, relying on action and bombast and throwing all semblance of historical accuracy of the window.

What way targets good job Raiders, but let's get specific.

The Japanese never intentionally targeted the hospital.

The depiction of the Doolittle raid is near total fabrication.

President Roosevelt wasn't notified of the attack by a man dramatically running into the room.

Sir Chester Nimitz and George Marshall actually advocated a retaliatory strike on Japan.

And then we veer into the absolute ridiculous.

Roosevelt obviously never stood from his wheelchair in a dramatic show of Will, and the movie stole Admiral Yamamoto's iconic sleeping giant line from Tora Tora Tora.

By all accounts, he never actually said that.

The Battle of Thermopylae makes for a great story, but 300 is pure comic book, Which makes sense, considering it was adapted from a comic book.

Spartans were not walking around shirtless and showing off their impeccable washboard abs.

There also weren't 300 Spartan men at the battle.

It was more like 6000 Greek soldiers, comprising numerous city states.

The movie was also criticized for its idealize depiction of Sparta and for whittling down a complex situation into a good guys versus bad guys.

Effie lt's was also a normal Molly in not a grotesque, Spartan, outcast father.
