I use to. The Hollywood liberty taken so to embellish stories is aggravating though.

They made a movie about the life of Fred Rogers, Mr.Rogers.
The only time this would happen and they cast Tom Hanks!
Horrible choice. Fred's wife critiqued the project saying,it did not resemble him in any way.

After that I'm going to hold off on so called true story movies.

Either way I believe lot of people like different things and some people forbid people to watch some things.
Yes it should go according to one's individual conscience. I don't like anything gory but do enjoy a good mystery, Western, sci-fi or suspense movie.

To agree with @Gray_Joy...
In 2013, I was approached by a Hollywood pastor's wife, asking me to put my testimony into a movie script that she could present to Lion's Gate, Universal Studios, and some others. I chose not to do that because I knew that my true testimony would be lost in the edits.

I did try to find a Christian producer and sent my testimony and had communication with the manager for the Christian band, For King & Country, that they would love to do the music for such a movie if I ever proceeded with it.

I just felt it was more important to keep my children and granddaughter safe than to pursue that. Anyway .... there's that.
