Films That Define America
When I think Film, I often think of art imitating life. When I think of this concept applied to the American Way, naturally the films that define generations, the export of their being, the values that they hold true are exemplified in such great films as you see below. This is a constant work in progress so have no fear in suggesting titles besides Rocky, Deerhunter, Apocalypse Now and First Blood.
