Poll Suggestion: Face-Off: True Events on Screen: Accuracy vs. Entertainment

Great idea.

Younger me would have gone with option 1.Current me - option 4.

Looks like we have some things in common. I often see that.

Why should I remove it? I do it like that for eight years.

I though about putting there a copy link, but as there are just cover of titles it's not necessary.

This is a face-off  about basically real events. 300 is an adaption of a high-class comic book which I don't count as movie about real events.

300 (2006), directed by Zack Snyder, is not a historically accurate war film. It is a stylized adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novel, not a direct interpretation of ancient sources like Herodotus. While the Battle of Thermopylae did occur in 480 BCE and Leonidas was a real Spartan king, the film heavily exaggerates Persian numbers, distorts Persian culture, and portrays Xerxes in a mythic, almost fantasy-like way. It should be categorized as a mythologized or graphic-novel interpretation of history rather than a realistic historical drama. It's an artful adaption of a high-class comic book, which doesn't have the aspiration to tell a true story.

And another thing: Face-Offs can only contain 5 options. I have chosen my picks carefully so that Americans and the western world understand them best.

@Breumaster​ 1- I meant the end of this text (right here), not in the main list.(You deleted these texts:

2- Your first list is probably private; it doesn’t show up.

3- I understood your point about my suggestion; thanks for the explanation.

Thank you for pointing out. 

The link was broken and I didn't get it.

Now it works. :D
