10 Best Movies About "America"
2 Comments:
I think "Once Upon A Time In America" is a very good immigrant/gangster movie. It's a superior movie, and almost makes the list, but I don't know that it describes what really occurs in America any more accurately than a dozen other movies in that genre.
The American Gangster movie is almost like a specific sub-genre of the "American Essay" film. "The Godfather", "Once Upon A Time In America", "Goodfellas" are all movies that describe the experience of the outsider trying to create the American dream for himself outside the system. If I had to choose one of these movies to put on the list, I think it would, of course, have to be "The Godfather", but there are dozens of them worth noting.
