I'd say chuck and Larry and most of the movies before it were great. Go watch little nicky and tell me you can find something better than an ice cold whiskey sour on a hot Alabama night

In general Sorkin dramas are not very historically accurate. I love the guy but he is known to embellish massively.

But we know for sure The Social Network (2009) is not really accurate because of information that came out later. In 2012, Mark's AOL instant message history was leaked. Mark flat out says that he plans to steal the idea from the Winklevosses and screw them over. He also says a lot of stuff that confirms he's a shitty person. Looking back now you could argue that the Winklevosses were the good guys all along.

Even if you took the movie as 100% fact (which it’s not), I completely disagree that you could say Zuckerberg stole Facebook. In the movie the Winklevi twins had an idea to make a Facebook, something that already existed on college campuses (Harvard included) and on MySpace. Their big idea was to make it exclusive. Not only did Mark and his roommates program the whole thing, the idea that drove Facebook initially was taking the college experience and putting it online. What are your friends doing and who are they dating. It was like opening a door to every other college campus, which was huge especially in the Northeast where you can hit 20 colleges within an hours drive. I think Zuck in the movie said it best: “If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you would’ve invented Facebook”.

Quentin Tarantino, but not necessarily for his movies (which I love), but the films and filmmakers he exposed me to who would go on to be some of my true favorites(Fulci, Bava, Godard, Fellini, Lenzi, Argento, Trenchard-Smith, etc.)
