Two more movies, THE GREAT IMPOSTER and CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, based on the exploits of real people, Fred Demara and Frank Abagnale Jr. respectively, come to mind in this discussion.
Although the fictions these "characters" created is further fictionalized by Hollywood, the movies are worth checking out and the source material (two novels...again fictionalized versions) is worth exploring. These guys were the real pretenders.
