I disagree.
I think that American values, like the Hollywood movie style, travels very well because they are transcendent and eternal and relate to desires and dreams that are deep within each and everyone of us: a desire for personal autonomy, mutual respect, adventure, and just desserts.
Which 10 ALL-TIME movies do you think have best portrayed America and our values and would travel best overseas and would best show young people what we're all about? reach a group of as yet un-brainwashed European teens or Martians, what would your 10 film film festival look like?
Here are my top 10 - WITH DIFFERENT GENRES REPRESENTED:
- CASABLANCA
- THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS
- CITY SLICKERS
- MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON
- THE RIGHT STUFF
- FORREST GUMP
- PATTON
- TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
- GRAND TORINO
- IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
WHICH MOVIES WOULD YOU SHOW?
