That film where a man gets his arm stuck between rocks and has to saw it off with a penknife.

  The bobby Sands story ( quite harrowing but very good )

Schnozz

The Story of Fred Dibnah.

Oh, and Into the wild. That's a corker.

the Imitation game was an OK film but it was very much an over simplified version of events

Yeah, I think everyone accepts that. I enjoyed it more than I should have done though. Cumberbatch is a fantastic actor imo, it's probably what nailed it for me. Interesting @ICBM I'm  only an hour away and keep meaning to go!

@Deadman - if you do, there are two museums on the old Bletchley Park site, the Bletchley Park museum itself and the National Museum Of Computing - bizarrely, they don't appear to be on speaking terms with each other! We had actually intended to go to 'Bletchley Park' not knowing this, and ended up at the 'wrong' museum - TNMOC - but which turned out to be far more interesting if you're a technology geek rather than a history one, it covers computers right from the Turing period in WWII right up to much more modern stuff.

Blimey. Thanks man! Thats unbelievable, who'd have known that. I'll check them both out I reckon.

As a lifelong Alan Turing fan I thought the film was painful! I hate it when history isn't 'good enough' and filmmakers have to embellish stories with Hollywoodisms.
