The movie isn't based on an actual event, but the things that happen in the movie happen everyday, everywhere.

My sister works as an air stewardess in a particular airline so i get to hear lots of real-life encounters from her. The most famous urban legend in her company happened in Japan.\n\nApparently, a flight crew of 8 flew to Japan.(I've forgotten which state exactly but i think it starts with F")They were just suppose to stay in Japan for 1 night before flying back the next day.\n\nAll 8 crews were allocated a hotel room each. So on that particular night, 8 of them were playing poker inside 1 of the hotel room. Now, all rooms in this particular hotel have a human size long mirror plastered on the wall.\n\nSo the 8 were happily playing together when ALL of them watch a little boy walked out FROM the mirror, bouncing a rubber ball along the way. The boy's face was a blur as he was reportedly wearing a cap.\n\nStunned beyond words, all 8 of them pretended they have seen nothing and started leaving the room 2 by 2. They bunk in together for the rest of the night.\n\nThinking everything were behind them, all 8 woke up the next morning, preparing to resume their work. \n\nBUT each of them woke up and realised with horror that their faces were imprinted with deep bloody-looking scratches that did not hurt.\n\nWord has it that the little "boy"'s mother were not happy that none of the 8 accompanied the "boy" to play..so she did a little of her revenge...

Of course not… Both movies were-obviously-going to be nominated based on their themes.  It was basically a choice between whether the Academy wanted to be labeled as Homophobic or racist.  Crash was chosen because it was the lesser of two evils.  It would be easier to quiet the crowd complaining about homophobia than the one crying about racism.  Crash was an extremely overrated, preachy, 'holier-than-thou' movie that only got to the level it was at because of the issues it addressed.  I found through personal experience that it's almost mandatory to like Crash: My liberal sister-in-law actually called my wife and I racist because we didn't like the movie.  So, obviously Crash is going to get higher marks if it was a good movie or not, based solely on people being afraid of being labeled as a racist which I can almost guarantee someone on this board will do to me after reading this.

It really happened. On September 11, 2001. It is about the plane the terrorists were trying to steer into the White House, but the passengers overpowered them, and it flew into the ground in Pennyslvania instead. \n\nBecause many of the passengers were able to use their cell phones to make calls to both family and to authorities, plus what they could get from the conversations from the tapes in the cockpit, they were able to piece together a fairly close depiction of actual events. \n\nIt is supposed to be really good, leaving nothing to the imagination. I will not be seeing it, becuase as a Flight Attendant for United Airlines at that time and suffering from post-traumatic syndrome since then, I don't need any set backs. I am only now starting to peek out of my shell.

I've seen planes explode when a bullet goes through a window in movies too.  That doesn't make it true.

That is absolutely AWESOME!  I hope it's a true story because that guy rocked the house - it took guts to go through that but in the end, definitely PRICELESS!  Love it!!!!

The old film Crash with Holly Hunt.  It is mad - they are a group turned on by car crashes.

I think it is really good and the fact that all the histories coincides with the crash scene is great job...\nBut I would like that the picture been a little less graphic or with a less contempt of descriptive images...

can't tell you the "real" story ... but I can tell you the movie was rubbish. Very inaccurate, to say the least.\nBy the way, you say not to reply with insults against arabs ... what does the movie have to with arabs???????

I have, the ending was, that everything that happened in the movie was part of a near death experience, of a guy that was in a car wreck....

Yes, It's "supposedly" based on true events!!\n\nWHAT MOVIES.COM SAYS ABOUT THE MOVIE:\nTwo hundred years ago in Tennessee, a demon called Old Kate takes up residence with the family of John Bell (Donald Sutherland). It torments them, and even causes a man's death. A local schoolteacher, Richard Powell (D'Arcy), witnesses the events and writes them down for his daughter.\n\nI saw this movie tonight. I was pleasantly surprised because this movie was GREAT!!!! My favorite genre of movie is suspenseful/thrillers (psychological) movies, and this movie had the BEST ending, my jaw almost hit the floor!! LOL I would not classify this movie has a horror movie, it's more of a thriller. So for those of you who want to see a scary movie (it had a few scary moments...there were some jumps and screams in the theater) this may not be the movie for you.
