This Thanksgiving it might be a good idea, just to deepen our understanding of why we celebrate the day, to watch a movie. Not just any movie but a movie that will impress upon us how glad we should be that we live in the United States and not somewhere else.
Here are a few suggestions:
- The Lives of Others
- The Pianist
- Schindler's List
- Beyond the Gates
- Hotel Rwanda
- Blood Diamond
- Tears of the Sun
They're each R-rated, with all that that entails, so be advised, but each of them in its own way will make you thankful every minute that you watch it that you're an American living in this country at this time in history.
If anyone can think of other suggestions send them in via our feedback function by Wednesday, and I'll post them.
