True stories hit differently when the filmmaking is good enough to honour them. Every comedy pick here was chosen for alone on a rainy night because the real events make the tension land harder. Specifically from the 2000s - these aren't just good films - they're films where knowing it happened changes everything. Pick one tonight.
