jmhm's journal, from Lance Mannion. Pick ten movies to show to someone from somewhere else to give them an idea of what America is about.
"What you're trying to do is give them a sense of who we are---your take on our dreams, our attitudes, our idioms, what we think we are, what we are afraid we are, what we really might be."
My list?
The Grapes of Wrath
All The President's Men or Good Night and Good Luck
Apollo 13 or The Right Stuff
It's a Wonderful Life
Hair
Singin' In the Rain
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Chicago
Dr. Strangelove
12 Angry Men
How about yours?
