I am not familiar with all of them, and of those I have seen, I'd put Matewan #1, Lambs #2, October Sky #3 and Gods and Generals in a vat of boiling acid.

I am sure We Are Marshall will crack the top 4 in short order.

This video was taken at large private university around the last Congressional election.



Look, I was a college student not too long ago, and I and my friends were all reasonably informed about public affairs and we voted.

If these self-indulgent twits can't be bothered to inform themselves and vote when they are students, what will happen when they work 40+ hours weeks and have a family?

While youth maybe wasted on the young, idiocy rarely is.
