Suggestions for Thanksgiving movie night

[We Are Legion]

So for Thanksgiving tomorrow night, I want to watch a movie that's just ridiculously American. I don't mean like "made in Hollywood", I mean something that's so pretentious that a foreigner might roll their eyes at it. Something that really drives that "F@#$ YEAH AMERICA!" vibe home. I had some ideas like "True Lies", "Clear and Present Danger", and "DIE HARD", but I wanted some suggestions too.

Go! Go! Go!

Can't go wrong with Team America. That's a pretty patriotic film, albeit in a satirical way...

Rocky 4 is something that comes to mind or Armageddon.

You've done me in now I was already to leap in with suggestions such as Planes, Trains and Groundhog Day.

How about something like a Time to Kill? That is very preatching and self-regarding. Going along the Rocky route Rambo too.

You in Canada now son, we celebrate this shit in October!

Dances With Wolves.

Fuck the haters. It's one of the most important films of all time.

How about The Patriot?

Independence Day! Has to be!

I've not seen it but I've heard that Act of Valour is just a 90 minute recruiting video for the US marines so that might work

It's a 90 minute movie about the Navy Seals., not US Marines.

Like I say, I haven't seen it. Just heard it was an expensive military recruitment project.

Yeah I heard very bad things about that. Think Independence Day takes this one, its big, dumb spectle at its best and with good characters.

Act of Valor production cost $24 million. Not a bad price for a movie that was half-decent.

Where did you hear that it was a military recruitment project? Where's your source?

What? Natives needing a whiteguy to save them and teach them how to shoot guns wasn't that important to me.

I know my ancestors didn't need a whiteguy to show them how to shoot a gun.

edit: forgot to suggest watching Mighty Ducks 2, makes me chant USA and I'm not even American, dirty Icelanders.

You're a Lakota Sioux Indian?

Mighty Ducks 2 is so bad it's like watching an Ezekiel Jackson match, lol.
