This is one of the best war films out there. The actual events were even more harrowing than what the movie depicted. If you like this film than try watching the documentary "True Story of Black Hawk Down" (LINK)
To Die For
Nobody Knows
Election 1 & 2
The Chaser
The President's Last Bang
Vengeance is Mine
Blood Rain
Inherit the Wind
The Elephant Man
Voice of a Murderer (the story is largely fictionalised, but just before the credits, you hear a snippet of a taunting phone call from the real-life kidnapper-murderer)
Philadelphia - Tom Hanks The Fugitive - Harrison Ford
127 Hours - James Franco
And yes GoodFellas if it was a true story I'm unsure though.
the Fugitive is only true in that a doctor was once wrongly imprisoned for his wifes murder but thats where it ends.

Sid and Nancy

City of God
JFK
Fire in the sky

Fire in the sky a true story?
To be taken with a very large pinch of salt, I would say.

I'm pretty sure Goodfella's is based on a book the real mobster Henry Hill wrote, but my memory might be faulty on that one. either bloody good film!!
I agree to these
The Fugitive - Harrison Ford
127 Hours - James Franco

The Mission
Killing Fields
None of them are "Date" movies, but all cracking films !

I've heard good things about 127 HOURS. That might be worth a look at.
Hmm ones I've actually seen:
Rabbit-Proof Fence
United 93
Hachikō Monogatari
Ed Wood
Born on the 4th of July

That's one of those films where it has problems but I still liked it anyway, even though I can't explain why.
The documentary is better but the movie adaptation had a great performance from Heath Ledger.
