I haven't seen it yet, but The Long Walk to Freedom is about Nelson Mandela (and stars Idris Elba). It's PG-13. [link]
All Quiet on the Western Front is a classic WWI movie, but might be a bit intense. [link]
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

My parents had recordings (audio only) of the You Are There broadcasts and I remember listening to them and being fascinated. Of course, I enjoyed history ... so Mac may not.

I can ask the history buffs downstairs. We have a whole shelf of WWI movies, let alone the other war films.
My problem employee tried to convince the rest of us today that Pearl Harbor was a GREAT movie.
(also, I approve of the thread title)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hey. New board.
Jupiter seems to spend most of her movie ascending to the "rescue me" tower.

Hey. New board.
I did say most. But once you have been rescued five times in nearly identical scenes, it just doesn't feel very bad ass.
If she had finished the job with Redmayne it would have helped a bit but the movie would have been a narrative mess either way. There was a lot of potential squandered there, in my estimation.
The Wachowskis are feeling a bit George Lucas to me these days.
