What is Crash?

 

Great great movie.

 

The two that came to my mind were Crash and Hotel Rwanda. Both are extremely powerful.

LBBC, show some South Park in your class!!! That could be political!!! :D

 

Either you are making a good joke or you have never been in the South Park thread debates with me.:lol:

Crash isn't suitable for school, even though it's a great movie.

Used that and it is really good.

 

What about the JFK assassination movies? I don't want to get into all the conspiracy issues. Just show them what happened.

Oliver Stone's JFK is not one to put on the list. The majority of the movie has pretty much been deemed a fraud/lie.

Is it the one with Terrence Howard?

Is it the one with Terrence Howard?

 

Yes... Don Cheadle, Terrence Howard, Brendan Fraser, etc.

Sergeant York. It was embellished somewhat for drama, but the storyline was close to accurate.

 

Apollo 13. I sweated through that one as it happened, and the movie did a good job.

 

My dad served under General George Patton. That movie touched a nerve in him.

 

Saving Private Ryan's Normandy beach invasion. All the old vets I've seen interviewed about the film said it was very accurate in what occured that morning, and more realistic than any war movie ever made about the war they had to endear. My dad was at Normandy too, but it was difficult to get him to say much about it.

I was joking with you! I know your views towards the show. :laugh:

.

 

I am intrigued. The movie goes from having you believe his soldiers loved him and his soldiers hated him. What was the nerve it touched, if you don't mind sharing?

Ghosts is a true story about NAACP leader Medger Evers who was killed in the 60's and his murderer was acquitted, only to be retried in the 90's. It is a great civil rights movies.

 

Dr.Strangelove is a commentary on the cold war
