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.

That's a good list, and having grown up in the South, I'll say "Deliverance" is a good pick. I posted my 10, but it was hard to keep it at 10. I also wanted to add "Philadelphia," "Fried Green Tomatoes," and "The Outsiders."

Oh yes, also and "American History X."
