Best Movie Depicting American History
When it comes to the civil war genre, Glory is pretty spot on.
Really looking forward to Hacksaw Ridge. I have read the biography and the trailer looks like it will do it justice. The true story is so unbelievable, people that don't know it will say it is far-fetched when they see it portrayed.
On a small scale, Cold Mountain was good too.
I would have to say The Godfather is also American history, in a sense, and the greatest of all time. Network, also very American, comes in second.
