The Hoax
2006
After billing his authorized "autobiography" of eccentric millionaire Howard Hughes as the 20th century's most important book, writer Clifford Irving (Richard Gere) begins to believe his own hype. But his shameless scam soon catches up with him. Julie Delpy, Marcia Gay Harden, Alfred Molina and Stanley Tucci provide support in Lasse Hallstrom's biographical drama that's chock-full of 1970s hairdos and based on a true story -- and that's no lie.

Not great, but I found it worth watching. Made more interesting by being a true story involving the mysterious Howard Hughes. Gere does 'just okay', but Molina's acting was not at all believable for me. Movie had more potential than it provided.
