Just because of the impending holiday, I'll recommend a movie that I've seen almost as many times as there are years in my life: 1776.
Yes, it's a low-budget movie musical, and silly at times... but it does a good job of showing how the Founding Fathers were not Demi-Gods or geniuses, but ordinary men in an extra-ordinary situation. I've watched it almost every year around July 4th, as it tends to help remind me what this country is really about: People, not institutions or titles or even ideals. It's inspirational. But still fun to watch.
And speaking of musicals, another one with almost the same notation: West Side Story.
And that's all for now. The list is too big...
