ten movies about america

[rone]

dr_strych9 lists 10 films he'd use to explain America.  Here's mine:

• The Blues Brothers
• Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
• Network
• The Apostle
• Nobody's Fool
• Bob Roberts
• Fargo
• The Rookie
• X
• Deliverance

Nota bene: i haven't seen "The Rookie" or "Deliverance", but i'm acquainted enough with the stories that i'm confident about their appearance here.

Hmm. I highly approve of the inclusion of Bob Roberts. Seen Deliverance, I guess it works.

Blues Brothers, yes. Dr. Strangelove, yeah.

I'd probably include American Graffiti. Or Footloose. Maybe Cannonball Run or L.A. Story.
