For those who didn’t see my original post, one of the extended trailers for Captain America: The Winter Soldier shows a pocket note book where Steve Rogers makes a list of things people have recommended he should catch up on in the time he was frozen (1943 and 2011). The idea of the Blogathon is to recommend ten movies to him.
I intend to do a few lists, this is my first, all of the films depict key events of the time. They are also all really good movies.
Bicycle Thieves (1948) or The Third Man (1949) – The aftermath of WWII
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)- Β Civil rights
American Graffiti (1973) – youth culture and rock and roll music
The Right Stuff (1983) – The Space Race
Schindler’s List (1993) The Holocaus
Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005) McCarthyism
The Social Network (2010) -The Internet
Thanks to everyone who has posted already. I will get a list up at the end of the week. Anyone planning to take part email or message me with a link. Thanks to Ruth from flixchatter for the banner. Β
