"Based on a True Story" is generally a pretty dubious claim for a movie to make. Hollywood is notorious for taking things that actually happened and throwing in enough flashy stupidity to keep the lowest common denominator distracted from how overpriced movie tickets are.

In To Hell and Back the studio had to tone down Audie Murphy's actions because they didn't think people would believe it was true otherwise. Audie Murphy was a total BADASS and a legend.
Oh and Audie Murphy was a hero veteran of WWII, not WWI.
Ed Gein wasn't a serial killer he had "only" 2 victims... All the bone furniture and jewelery were made out of already deceased cadavers that he robbed from the cemetary, same with the skin suit.
2 confirmed kills but at least one more suspected murder. Just couldn't be proved.
I call Norman Bates, Buffalo Bill and Leatherface "The Children of Gein"
His response: They were killing my friends.
I found my new hero/idol.
that's what any soldier would say.
EpicAMV911 I am from 20 miles or so away from his home town in Texas and the Audie Murphy Museum is located just a few miles away. It has his uniform which is to say very impressive. In the museum they have a plaque with that line and telling how he is the most decorated man un US military history.
Any chance Audie Murphy was inspiration for Snake (Big Boss)?
'Based on a true story' is the most abused term in the history of film.
Liam J yep
It's actually not a protected phrase, so anyone can use it, regardless of whether the story is based on a true story or not.
...an unidentified shark??? Damn sharks, always lose their id's.
:)))
Thumbs up!
Brooke Spillman: Well you have to understand that sharks have a difficult time getting a driver's license as it is extremely difficult to steer a car with fins.
Brooke Spillman; LOL!
Yep. Because they don't have pockets, I s'pose?
They have no pockets.
Actually, in 50 First Dates, he tried to get her attention the same the second time and she reacted differently so he saw that it wouldn't work .-.
So many movie begin with "This is based on actual events" which part however is not divulged, it could be a bird flying in the back ground, yes in real life a bird actually flew, that is good enough to qualify the movie as based on a true story...
That's a really badass reason to take on a company of German infantry by yourself. "They were killing my friends" that's the kind of dude you don't wanna piss off
Audie Murphy made Rambo look like Strawberry Shortcake, "To Hell and Back" is one of those movie that just plain screams to be remade today.
That would be great! I was watching Fury and thinking we need more realistic WW11 movies like Private Ryan, Hell and Back is a perfect example. I was actually thinking of SGT. York at the time.
Walking Wounded WW11 is a loooonnnnng way away my friend. just a joke i know you meant WWII. use capital i instead of 1 it actually makes it world war 2 instead of world war 11. LOL
Elliott Neblett Thanks, nice catch! lol
KlunkerRider He played himself in the movie (ten years later 1955) and still looked like a high school student. Unbelievable.
KlunkerRider I haven't seen To hell and back but now it's on the list of movies to watch.
Based on a true story, as a phrase, has gotten so watered down that it's basically meaningless. More often than not it means they partially based the very basic idea for the movie on something and often very, very loosely. What's bad is people who think it means the movie is a freaking documentary in it's accuracy and it happened exactly like the movie shows.

Eric Benway What?
Chris McWilliams Yer I agree. What??
Peter Taylor I don't know maybe it's a secret code or something. :)
Yer. The infrequent words make me think similar thoughts. Or alcohol or drugs lol. Bit of an odd comment though aint it.
Coolest part of Audie Murphy was that he called the artillery in on his own position with atop the burning tank and held the Germans at bay for 2 hours! After the war, at a hollywood party before the start of his acting career, there was a big actor known for playing muscle bad guys who starter to slap his date around, a little short baby-faced kid came up to him and told him to knock it off, something about the kid scared him, and when the actor asked who that was he was told that' Audie Murphy CMH winner.
The Audi Murphy story is heart breaking and heroic to say the least! He stopped them from killing the rest of his "friends"!
Thank you for mentioning Audey Murphy. Almost no one knows who he is anymore
I addition to "To Hell and Back" you should also consider "Sergeant York"
Great list except Audie Murphy held off far more than a squad (8 men). He held off an entire company, which is around 100 men.
He jumped on a burning M10 wolverine tans destroyer and with its .50cal he killed 50 Germans and forced 6 panzers to retreat.
+HDGoofnut You know he found making the film quite traumatising?
TheGroundedAviator
Traumatizing? Yes, I did realize that.
HDGoofnut He was a great guy though (less of a prick like Charles Upham), helped make PTSD better understood.
A bit off but the fight against 100 was different then the film, more rugged terrain with few gaps too attack making bottlenecks and low mist.
He also penned a sequel too his film but it didn't go anywhere... not very heroic I guess with the drugs and violent outbursts.
+HDGoofnut
The narrator did say the true story was actually that he single-handedly fought off an entire company of advancing Germans.
Audie Murphy is now my hero, what a incredibly brave man, cheers
Not really a hero.. just a guy who decided he would rather fight than roll over and die.
Jaws was a great white but the real sharks were bull sharks that caused the havoc in N.J. waterways.
Your narration was filled with so much humour that I subscribed to your channel.
What was 50 first dates about again? I forgot.
TheDm94 i see what u did there
@@brandoncarlock2148
What did he do?
@@gamersinger5118 who?
@@johnwapola4107
What?
I believe another interesting fact about Audie Murphy is he was initially too young to be in the services and had lied about his age. Also he was for most of my lifetime the most decorated solider of all time.
Nice job, interesting subject! I kind of new some of the movies were based on real events but you provided back story I never knew! Thanks!
You've just earned another subscriber! Your style, humor, and wit is on point and great! Thanks for the great video!
It’s always amazing to see how far people grow & change over time. I enjoy more of your later works, Simon, because in these early ones you sound bored.
Hey TopTenz narrator! What's up?
I would just like to thank you for being the only narrator yet, for these kind of clips, that neither has a voice or a way of talk that makes me want to shove red hot spiky steel rods into my ears straight into the brain. Quite the opposite, a very pleasant listen. Keep it up! Cheers!
Ed Gein wasn't actually a serial killer, he only killed 1 or 2 people I believe, but he was a chronic graverobber.
I heard he kidnapped and killed, raped and eaten 4 people
kieran dooley
You heard? Google him ..He beheaded one of the two he killed ..In my book that would make him a serial Killer..My guess is he killed more but they just never found the others
naihanchin Kempo
Some investigators believed Gein was responsible for a number of strange disappearances in both la Crosse and Plainfield Wisconsin, since Gein frequented both areas ( Living outside of Plainfield.) Gein's brother Henry died under mysterious circumstances in 1941, Ed was never charged or considered a suspect because of his seemingly harmless nature.
*****
starkiller read my first post..even tho he was said to only have killed two. The way they were killed, in my Book he is still a Serial killer ..So we are on the same page
But I mean by definition he isn't a serial killer you have to kill 3 to be a serial killer, that's why his wiki doesn't say serial killer anywhere.
In 50 first dates why doesn't adam sandler woo her the same way every day since he knew it would work? because the first time they naturally hit it off and it works, second day he finds out she doesn't remember and the third day he walks over and touches her food and she says "do you live in a place where it's okay to touch other peoples food?" watch the damn movie.
When Jaws came out I was a teenager who loved the ocean, after the movie I still freak out about going in the ocean. Now I'm 57 and still freaked out over that darn movie
damn... why so hard on "Final Destination"? wasn't that bad lol
sounds personal
The narrator, Simon, seems like a super bitter person.
Seriously lol Did he know someone on TWA flight 800? He didn't bash TCM and Psycho for exploiting real deaths, and those were murdered people.
I liked the fd movie series.
Nicholas Parenti your answer is in the accent.
you forgot the movie:enemy at the gate A.K.A. stalingrad.the movie was romanced but still it's based on the true story of Vasily Grigoryevich Zaytsev who was one of the greatest(if not the greatest) sniper of russian history who killed hundreds of nazis in russian territory.
Really loving these videos keep up the great work
I like how you put numbers 5 and 4 together. I don't think I've ever seen that in a top ten list before. It's a small thing but very cool.
your voice, etiquette, and description of facts are awesome
I can listen to your voice and videos all day! 👍🏼👌🏼❤️😍
You're most wellcom, your voice is so expressive, and I enjoy the way one can tell if you're being ironic, sarcastic, in an amusing way of course, or if you're being serious. Have you worked in TV as a voice actor or on the Radio, if not then you should, in fact you could make a killing if you did audio books, I can see so don't use audio books but I'd buy one of yours, though that would be a tad awkward as I've no idea of your name 😯😌
How did this channel ever get off the ground? It was just Simon putting on a spooky voice over a slide show. Wow. Humble beginnings. His content today is fantastic!
#1 is spot on. I'm a 3rd Infantry Division veteran myself. The unit Murphy was in was also assigned to the same brigade I was in. He was assigned to 1-15 infantry. I was assigned to 3-63 armor. Both in 2nd brigade.
Audie Murphy's story in "To Hell and Back" had to be edited down after people thought it, the actual real life happenings, would be too unbelievable. HE WAS THAT BADASS.
Not to mention how he dealt with an addiction stemming from wounds and the like. Once again- HE WAS JUST THAT BADASS.
Study Murphy is a certified hero. There are eleven sworn testimonials which is more than required. The Medal of Honor winner truly deserved this distinguish award.
+Dale Reynolds He didn't like being called that though. For the rest of his life he was a messed up dude who found said film traumatising too make.
"they were killing my friends" hahah good murphy
and good vids, got my sub
Audie Murphy also lied about his age when he enlisted. He was a 17. I do believe he was the most decorated soldier of WWII.
Actually, the first movie with a twist ending was “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”, which was made in 1920. It was also the first horror movie.
lol thank you for that description of hunt, also sandler did try the same thing the next time but she didnt like it.?
FYI. Hunt For Red October (The Movie) was an adaptation of Tom Clancy's Hunt for Red October. Also it wasn't Alec Baldwin, it was Jack Ryan. And Baldwin wasn't the only one who played Ryan. Harrison Ford. Chris Pine, John Kransinski, and Ben Affleck have also portrayed him.
Liss Firefly Ooooh.... I bet you feel like a real big shot now...smh
MacReddPW Generally.
Subscribing because the narration in this video sold me.
i subscribed. love the channel
Audie Murphy
"Crazy Badass"
June 20th 1925 - May 28th 1971
Kai Robertson; I remember bringing in that mornings paper. Very sad. In our household Audie Murphy was an Idol.❤️
Love your work how about ture haunting or gravesites that are haunted or curse and truth behind urban stories
You made this list without being 100% sure about most of these, how professional.
I really enjoy your videos, and I could listen to your voice all day, 😊😊
4:50 He does actually try to woo her in a similar fashion on multiple occasions. The first time he meets her he puts a toothpick in her waffle house (no sexual pun intended) to make a swivel for the door. The second time he meets her he tries the same thing and even bets the cook of the restaurant they are in that it will work. This is a romcom so obviously it doesn't work and so he then tries to win her over in a different way each day.
In the bloopers he takes her to a hallway and throws a hot dog down it and pretends to be a certified plumber specializing in interior wall and pipe repair from sugar damage, believe it or not.
Crazy Bad-ass
I could always relate to Audie Murphy. He tried just about anything to get into the military although he kept hearing "No". Same with me the reason why I keep hearing no is because I have Keratoconus in my left eye. 34 years old and I still haven't given up. Even though my window of opportunity is closing I still won't give up. I still have until I am 39. The way I see it I only need to hear yes only once and I can hear no maybe 1000 times. If I reach the limit ok I will give up but not until then.
Groundbreaking Narration
***** I especially liked the surreptitious bragging about the stiff upper lip. Glad to see the Brits still got the jingoism down.
It it hasn't been done you should do another video like this/ an updated version!
At 4:00ish (Final Destination still) there are DISTINCT faces in both those sets of flames
Woah, I've never seen old top tenz videos. It's so different than what he makes today!
Theres a real Captain America? :O My god.
Silence of the Lambs is based off of the same killer as Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Psycho, I think
Good list.. Fargo is in this category too :)
audie Murphy, my grandmother loved him. He was one of her favorite actors to watch because he was a true hero. Makes me feel bad for not even seeing his movie "to hell and back", so now i have to watch it.
To Hell and Back (an awesome movie) needs to be remade with every heroic thing Audie Murphy did. Look up the definition of hero and you'll see Audie Murphy's picture.
Through all the sarcasm I actually kind of forgot what I was listening to.
I LOVE the narrators voice tbh. Lol.
Ghost and the darkness deserves at least an honorable mention, and one that came out after this list is The revenant
Wow, new American hero is Audi Murphy!
Can you put a list of these movies and I comments cuz I can't remember all the names please
I would say that retro simon is weirdly relaxing during lockdown
The funny thing about Jaws is, now we do have Great Whites on Cape Cod/Martha's Vineyard.
The Jersey shark attacks included the shark swimming up a river and eating a boy (or biting off his leg). I don't quite recall off hand if the boy survived.
You should've added Cinderella man.
'Cinderella man who survived tons'
If you are having trouble explaining the 90's to your kids or younger siblings.....Dear God that made me feel old :P
I have a book about the Jersey Shore shark attacks. One of the victims was a child. It was really horrific.
Also, Audie Murphy survived more than just World War II. He grew up in poverty and an abusive home, but did not let them stop him. His father abandoned the family and his mother died when he was just in his teens. He quit school in the fifth grade and worked to support his family. His older sister helped him falsify documents so he could join the military because he was just 16. He tried joining the Army, the Navy, and the Marine Corps, but was repeatedly turned down due to his weight. He tried the Army again and was successful. He fought in Italy and France and earned a chest full of medals. He went on to a successful movie career and also was a songwriter. He battled PTSD and became addicted to sleeping pills. He refused to appear in ads for cigarettes and alcohol because he did not want to set a bad example. Unfortunately, he died in a helicopter crash in 1971 when he was just 45 years old. He was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. He was a true hero.
Audie Murphy was not an American Soldier of WWI he was, in fact, an American soldier in WWII and in the movie he played himself as a soldier in WWII. Audie Murphy was born in 1925 which was years after WWI.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video....and the manner of presentation. It is not often that I create a list of topics to "research" based on a YT video....but this one will have me scurrying to see some of these movies...perhaps: "again" (Audie Murphy especially). The narrative script was excellent.....and the narration itself. I don't subscribe to a channel unless I'm pretty darned impressed with the content...or I've had some enjoyable dialogue with someone. Subbing up to your channel now.
~RED ☮♥♫
(BTW...an "aside"....I used to have an English boyfriend....his accent and voice tone was the softer/smooth sort....exactly like this narrator. So...kind of a "warm and fuzzy" recollection for me. :-) Never forgot him).
Why wasn't nightmare on elm street added
***** It's a controversial story.
Oi, Das Boot proved that movies set on subs can be classics all the way back in 1981
I'm been searching for well over 2 hours, going through movie list after movie list and can't for the life of me find a movie I used to watch. It was about this American guy who was fed up of City life so moved to the country with his gf, but she was never happy there. So one day there was this guy from the city where they lived and he walked in on them banging, so killed them both. He had a pie shop and he used to have a specialty pie called "road kill" which would actually be people he had killed from the city. The reason this story unfolded was because this reporter was investigating the story and heard it all from the guy who did it, who obviously later on killed her. Pretty sure it was made mid-late 2000's. Desperate to find the name of this film. Sounds a lot like Sweeney Todd but this film is set in somewhat modern times and there's no singing.
Yeah the number six is nightmare inducing. And to think Shiro Ishii never got punished. Nice job allies. Dropping bombs on civilians but not punishing war criminals.
The last one about the army guy was badass . " they were killing my friends " ...epic
Thanks for including Audie Murphy's heroic story. I am named for him , so I am partial but I feel as though Lt Murphy is not as respected as he deserves to be by the country he fought so bravely for.
Besides the opinions in the commentary, I liked it
Rocky was an Irish traveller, who worked in a South Boston petstore...
Less opinions and more facts definitely make for a better top ten video countdown
I don't know if it's been mentioned but Rocky didn't work at a butcher shop. I thought this until I actually watched it WAY after Rocky 4 (which I thought was Rocky 1 for far too long lol). I can see where the notion comes from as we all know about him punching beef like someone that hasn't seen Star Wars knows Vader is Luke's father: pop culture. However, IIRC, he was only shown to have a job as a low-level gangster/loan shark's enforcer. He collected money. Paulie worked at the butcher shop.
There was another insignificant error but I forgot haha. Funny video, btw.
DannyWilliamH That is right. The character Rocky was a debt collector, paulie worked at a meat packing factory, in an argument with Paulie Rocky punches a hanging carcass which is how the training method came about. Full of facts me lol
Mandela effect
Your narration cracks me up. I enjoy your series a great deal. Thanks
There was an "Ark Experience" ad on this video 😂😂😂
Audi Murphy = The original American Badass!
AMERICA! FUCK YEA!
Original, no, I'd give that one to George Washington. But I'd have to put Murphy up there with him.
Heruagarwaen H.H. Holmes ...
Too bad his legacy is tainted because ..... well research it if you wish to know.
Heruagarwaen much for funnier if you said murica
Should have mentioned Titanic
But everybody knows that's a true story.
***** heavenly creatures is a good one
Read the title of the video again. Everyone knows Titanic is a true story, but they still don't tell us the whole truth and the big picture of who was on it and why.
My grandfather was just a boy when he and his family missed the ferry they needed to cross the River Thames to get to the titanic. And they were poor, so they would have been in the bottom!
I think that was your best top 10 yet
RE: number 3 "Rocky" - they did make a movie about the real guy, it's called "the brawler'
If that's really how you feel about it you'd be shocked by how many "crazy badass"'s. there are in the US army.
In every army around the world really.
Silence of the Lambs has the best horror score ever? I think not.
"...and gratuitously being a Nazi."
Haha!
"Sylvester Stallone's career is made up almost entirely of crap" - that's very insightful :-)..
I didn’t agree with that at all! I’ve always been a fan of his!
WOW, WOW,that was very interesting! Thanks my princess! BELIEVE THAT, FOR REAL! LOVE YOU!
I love channels like these I love trivia sub
Jesus his voice is calming.
Wow crazy stuff! I learned some histories.
