What's the most "American" film you've seen? - Blu-ray Forum

GreenGaijin · 02-14-2013, 07:09 AM

What's a movie you've watched that you feel represnts the american people, culture, and spirit? Perhaps it's a hollywood blockbuster with explosions, machine gun fire, and cheesy one-liners. Or maybe it's something more dramatic, patriotic, and plays with your heartstrings.

Now you can only select one movie (I know we could all make a list).

I would probably pick something like a Roland Emmerich Film or one with a soundtrack done by James Horner...

Whatever, I'll select APOLLO 13.

By the way, I'm Canadian

United 93. Massive respect to ordinary Americans who fought back against the odds.

Sadly, I feel like Michael Bay movies are about as "American" as you can get, in terms of the stereotype of what America is.

I really wish it weren't the case.

Robocop is the perfect 80's American movie
