Just seen a trailer for a set of documentaries on the Discovery channel.
They are about the true stories behind some well known films. The Hollywood version of history.
Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan (one of the quotes was Americans will never be the bad guysbiggrin) and Close Encounters.
Looks good, first one is on Sunday at 9.

I wonder if this tale will be rolled out again:

Betty & Barney Hill
