Re: What are your favorite American history movies?
Patton and The Right Stuff would be #1 and #2 on my list.
Dances with Wolves is not a film that I would normally select as "Yeah, let's watch that!" But it would definitely make for some good discussion of the accuracy of the events and characters portrayed. Speaking of Costner (do I have to?), you could put Wyatt Earp on the list, or not. Or Tombstone.
Far and Away is also a possible choice for discussion purposes and not necessarily enjoyment purposes, as it "covers" our Irish immigrant history and the Oklahoma homesteaders.
It's a bit of a stretch, but The Sting is a great depression-era film.
The Untouchables would definitely spark some discussion.
And, finally: Does Blazing Saddles count? :)
