Aviator
The movie about Howard Hughes life.
Not sure how acurate it is. Interesting though. Really liked how they did the flight for the "Spruce Goose".
If ya get the chance, you can see that plane at Evergreen Air and Space Musuem. Even go inside of it. Thing is HUGE!!!

Re: Aviator
I watched about two minutes of the movie. I need to take time to sit and watch it. There are many great actors, and I remember an interview with Gwen Stefani and her excitement and nervousness regarding her role as Jean Harlow.
Regarding the accuracy, I did find a neat read on the subject. I will send you the full article.
"Many of the ideas I have been attributing to Scorsese he found already embodied in the script that was handed to him. Thus, any full account of The Aviator must acknowledge Logan's contribution to the creative process, and DiCaprio also played an important role. Film is a collaborative medium, and, despite the attractions of French auteur theory, one cannot regard any movie as the product of a single creator."

There is an article on Mr. Hughes in the APA, American Psychological Association.
His mother died when he was 16, his father when he was 18. "A picture gradually emerged of a young child who pretty much was isolated and had no friends, and a man who increasingly became concerned about his own health,"
In adolescence, Hughes was paralyzed for several months and unable to walk. After a few months, the symptoms disappeared. Fowler believes Hughes's paralysis--for which no physical basis was found--was psychologically based and an early manifestation of his lifelong pattern of withdrawing in times of stress.
Hughes's fear of germs grew throughout his life. most of his life trying to avoid germs. Toward the end of his life, he lay naked in bed in darkened hotel rooms in what he considered a germ-free zone. He wore tissue boxes on his feet to protect them. And he burned his clothing if someone near him became ill.
Mr. Hughes a handsome, intelligent, man full of life Due to his disease he ended up neglecting his own hygiene, rarely bathing or brushing his teeth.
The phobia grew so severe that it might have contributed to Hughes's increasing addiction to codeine and his reclusiveness in the two decades before his death from heart failure in 1976.
