If box office earnings are anything to go by, audiences tend to love movies based on true stories.

From "Titanic" to "Schindler's List," and "Erin Brockovich" to Elvis," these films can bring in millions and launch award-winning careers.

While "Titanic" was always known to be a fictional love story tied to an accurate depiction of what happened on the disaster-bound ship and the real Erin Brockovich has said the movie based on her life was spot on, other films have faced scrutiny for claiming to depict real events.

Released in 2009, "The Blind Side" starred Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw and Quinton Aaron. It was "based on the extraordinary true story" and the characters used the same names as the people they portrayed: Leigh Anne Touhy, Sean Touhy and Michael Oher.

The movie told the story of a teenager, Oher, who the Touhy family found wandering the streets in freezing weather. They took him home, hired a tutor to help with his dismal grades and taught him how to play football. Oher, both in the movie and in real life, played in the NFL.

"The Blind Side" was hailed as an inspiration, and it was nominated for a best picture Oscar. Bullock won the Oscar for best leading actress.
