2007 June: Movies Based on True Crimes
June 24, 2007 — mylifeofcrimeThis month, I will spotlight some movies that were based on true crimes. I will admit, I watch these! And I collect them. I like old ones, new ones, bad ones, good ones! OK, I have not liked all of them, especially if they stray so far from the truth that it is ridiculous (for me, one example was Nightstalker However, I believe everyone has a right to their own opinion. There are so many movies based on true crimes that I will not be able to cover all of them this month. So I will do it again. I will probably cover alot of the movies that I personally own or like. In fact, it was a movie based on a true crime that got me interested in crime in the first place:
I watched it the night it premiered on tv (I was like13 at the time, and surprised that my dad actually let me watch it). I was hooked from there!
The best place I have found to get the true story behind a movie, is the following website:
Traciy has been working on her site for many years now and has put in alot of work. I “met up” with her when she had a Yahoo! group for this (which I really miss by the way!) and we could discuss them. She has continued to add to her database over the years. I am amazed at how many she has been able to dig up. Her site is great. Please visit it.

They are not “playing”. I will be and have posted about the true stories behind the movies. However, Lifetime Channel and LMN show these movies.

I found this company called movielead.com- they can give you a vhs or DVD copy of practically ANY TV movie produced in the US. I’ve gotten two movies that aren’t available anywhere for 50.00 each: The Legend of Lizzie Borden” starring Elizabeth Montgomery (probably inaccurate but still creepy) and “And the Sea Will Tell” a 1991 film based on the book about two hippies and two squares “vacationing” on a deserted Pacific atoll…the hippies are accused of murdering the two squares. Not entirely accurate in minute detail- but fairly accurate overall (the implied murderer won’t admit to the deed and this fella-Buck Walker has written a couple of books about it while imprisoned for life…any he’s selling his side of the story online!)

Hi I live in Australia. I came across your Blog when I was trying to find out information about a poor woman that used to live in Virginia,until someone (her husband i think) decided that he no longer wished to be with herand Viciously Murdered her! I often wonder why No charges have been laid at the husband’s feet?
