My pitch for the movie that best represents the American spirit is Apollo 13. Besides its setting of exploring space, it's the fact that in the face of danger, Americans refuse to accept failure as an option, a line straight out of the movie.
When faced with what might seem like an impossible hurdle to overcome, Americans will find a way to make a square peg fit into a round hole, again, straight from the movie.
The movie captures the essential ideal of American optimism and problem-solving under pressure. The idea that ingenuity and teamwork can overcome seemingly impossible odds.
It’s a thread that runs through our American story from the founding to today.
The Patriot and We Were Soldiers by Mel Gibson, both great films. The musical movie 1776 is very entertaining and I watch it every July 4th. Food for thought. Thank you for your excellent work and God Bless sir.
Yes sir, a little long and takes some liberties with history (no pun intended), but very enjoyable. Another good movie and its an oldie, is The Long Gray Line, which is about West Point and a man named Marty Maher.

Is this the 1776 movie? https://tubitv.com/movies/691740/1776

A few ideas: Battle Cry of Freedom, HBO's John Adams, The Patriot. That's all for now!
