3. It Could Happen To you
The 1994 romantic comedy movie starring Nicolas Cage and Bridget is another movie based on a true life story. Cage stars as a NYPD officer who’s known to be a kind and a generous man. In contrast, his wife is the complete opposite of him. Charlie (Nicolas Cage) meets a waitress who was in a tough situation and in debt. He promises her to give her half his lottery ticket winning.
He ends up winning $4 million dollars and keeps his promise to the waitress and the two fall in love.
The real life incident happened when Officer Robert Cunningham, suggested that he would split a lottery ticket instead of leaving her a tip. He discovered that the ticket had won $6 millions dollars and he honored their agreement. However, there was not any romance between them and beyond that the movie is entirely fiction.
