Name your favorite true-to-life movie,be it television,VHS,DVD or theater release and explain why you like it the best.My favorite is”The Ghost and the Darkness”(1996)starring Val Kilmer and Micheal Douglas.I love this movie because it tells a chilling real story about 2 lions that terrorized and killed throngs of bridge builders in Africa 1898.Val Kilmer portrays Colonial John H. Patterson; the engineer in charge who must oversee the bridge’s completion while simultaneously hunting down these 2 murderous lions.He gets aid in his pursuit from Micheal Douglas in a rousing and memorable performance as Charles Remington”The great white hunter”of his day.The script,directing,acting,editing,score,set location as well as supporting cast;made this movie a profoundly entertaining classic of masterpiece film-making!Although the events of this movie were a calamity that did occur,the film was created so artfully and vividly—capturing the feeling with the superb Direction by Stephen Hopkins.
