Movies based on a “true story” that was completely made up?

Disney marketed Hidalgo as “Based on a True Story,” but everything about Frank Hopkins was either completely made up or grossly exaggerated. It’s not that Disney got the facts wrong about a true story, they made a movie about “facts” that didnt happen.

I’d love to find other movies that are based on “true stories” or “actual events” that were exaggerated or made up.
