There's one I didn't like until I read the true story, and found out it was pretty close to the facts. I watched it again and liked it a lot more.

I haven't watched movies on TV for quite some time now, but I'm an old time movie buff. Usually, with a few exceptions, I get movies suggested to me by friends or family. If I get a chance to watch it, I do. If I really like it, I purchase the DVD. I have large tupperware tubs loaded with DVDs. Every once in awhile, I find one that I forgot I had. I have a very specific taste in movies, yet I'd be challenged to try and describe what those specific tastes are.
Anyway, if you liked Casino due to it's adherence to factual events, I highly suggest you watch
The Departed (if you haven't already seen it, of course). Though very loosely based on factual events and not nearly as factual as Casino, it's actually a very good movie. The ending is insane. Great lineup of actors for the various roles. The characters are loosely based on famous gangster
Whitey Bulger and corrupt FBI agent
John Connolly, who grew up with Bulger.
