20 Movies That Represent American Culture According to MovieWeb

"What defines a film about American culture? Well, for starters, let's begin with the people that make up this country. Many hail from immigrants who arrived at the turn of the 20th century. Many are descendants of one of the darkest times in this country's history: slavery. Some are people who have fought in wars, grown up poor, or grown up rich, but still wanted more. Some are underdogs; some are those who rose from poverty but met their downfall from the choices that defined all that they ever knew. American culture is full of beautiful stories, and it also has tales of tragedy. American cinema reflects the time and culture of this country. Films that date back all the way to the silent era are just as effective as films today that are keen on telling the American story. Here are 20 films that perfectly describe the culture of the United States." - movieweb.com
