As entertainment, "Hidden Figures" is clearly better. And what these three women did in their jobs was amazing and heroic, worth commemorating. The problem is that the movie creates drama by portraying the white men they worked with as being racist and hostile. Whereas these women themselves have always maintained that their coworkers treated them just fine, as peers. It's not okay to gin up drama by slandering a bunch of NASA engineers who don't deserve it.

I've seen all three Jackass movies. But since I don't classify them as "movies", I still haven't added them to my chart. Hell, I've added Bad Grandpa only because it has a narrative and isn't just a collection of unfunny sequences. Hidden Figures was okay. It had its ups and downs. But wins this matchup purely because it is a MOVIE.
