9. Argo
The 2013 movie Argo depicts the true story of when CIA agents pretended to be Hollywood producers in order to rescue hostages in Tehran. Even though the movie won Best Picture, there were a lot of people who were offended by the one-dimensional portrayal of Iranians as fanatical terrorists. Unfortunately, some of the most interesting scenes in the movie never actually happened in real life, either. One of the biggest controversies is the portrayal that the American government was resisting the plan to have the CIA pretend to be a film crew. In reality, that was never a problem at all, and Canada was actually responsible for 90% of the planning, not the US. In the movie, they were also almost lynched, and drama with confirming their plane tickets, which never happened. Basically, the movie turned the drama up to 11, putting obstacles in the way at every turn.
