There are some movies that shake you to your core. For me, these are usually horror films. I recently saw Paranormal Activity for the first time, and was traumatized for days. Stories that could really happen are the worst (and yes, I believe being possessed by a devil could really happen). When they start with the simple words, "Inspired by true events" I'm done for. I could watch LMN for hours on end.
But even when they are based on a real story, the glamor of the story is fictionalized. To watch a re-enactment of someone being mugged is much different than to watch someone actually being mugged. The tension in the air, the fear for the person and the fear for your own life would be indescribable.
Which is why the scariest movie that I've ever seen is the documentary film Earthlings. It's not just inspired by true events. It is reality. It will change your life, and they way you look at everything you eat, wear and the products you use. Even if you are not willing to give up meat, leather, etc. at least have the knowledge to know where it comes from and how it gets to you.
You can watch the whole film here for free. It is narrated by Joaquin Phoenix and features music by Moby.
