<p>So I'm loading my Netflix queue with historically relevant movies in preparation.</p>

<p>My favorites:
-Nixon (1995)
-1776 (1972)
-All The President's Men (1976)
-Glory (1989)
-The Gangs of New York (2002) (fictional story, but still a great way to learn about the agenda of the Know-Nothing Party and nativist groups)
-Full Metal Jacket (1987) (also fictional, but... well, it's Full Metal Jacket)</p>

<p>These are on my queueueue; never seen them before:
-The Birth of a Nation (1915)
-JFK (1991)
-Good Night and Good Luck (2005)</p>

<p>Your choices?</p>

<p>if your just going to study by watching the movies, i would just read through a review book</p>

3

<p>No, no, of course I have review books and all that cute stuff.</p>

<p>I'm not just watching movies to study. But I like to watch movies. And I'm trying to watch films relating to U.S. history this month. </p>

<p>Anyone?</p>

<p>Birth of a Nation is a pro Ku Klux Klan movie, just to let you know.</p>

7

<p>Yes, well aware. Griffith's treatment was notoriously racist.</p>

<p>But it's an artifact, brother! Dig?</p>

8

<p>i dont know what the movie is called but its about the cuban missile crisis
saving private ryan is good</p>

<p>cuban missile crisis movie is thirteen days. too bad john adams isnt on dvd yet.</p>

<p>Even though it's a pro-KKK movie, Birth of a Nation shows up frequently on both APUSH and SAT USH tests.</p>

11

<p>I'm taking it. What exactly is on it anyway? I'm kinda scared if there are questions about movies.</p>

<p>"Even though it's a pro-KKK movie, Birth of a Nation shows up frequently on both APUSH and SAT USH tests." </p>

<p>Yup. It was on the US AP this year, and on some SAT practice tests I've done. So I'm tired of just readign about this film in a historical format; it's time I watch the damn thing. Who's with me?</p>
