Movies That Explain America
Last of the Mohicans - Daniel Day Lewis version
I LOVE this movie! I have used it as an exemplar to my middle son to teach him the roots of the American character. Recently I have finally sat through Ride with the Devil, a proto civil war movie. A beautiful mixture of history and personal characterization. An y contributions? I am always interested.

How wrong they will find themselves ... but by then it will be too late.

Since the Patriot was taken, I'll say the Samuel Adams mini-series on the History channel a year or so ago.

I like the "Unforgiven". Its been a nice movie with an intention of showing the two sides of culture coin.
