One of the Detroit News columnists put together a list of 10 films that "reflect America's essence". His list:
Patriot acts: Ten films that reflect America's essence
All the President's Men
Apollo 13
Born on the Fourth of July
Captain America: The First Avenger
Forrest Gump
McFarland, USA
Rocky
Saving Private Ryan
Selma
World Trade Center
Some are based on true stories. Some are based on real events, but fictional. Some are simply fiction.
This is only a list of ten, so it's pretty limited. There are so many more that could be added.
