The Patriot

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA! Yes, all July, we're marking 250 years of gratuitous Americans by watching the most gratuitously American war movies we can find, and no war movie is as gratuitously American as The Patriot, in which Mel Gibson oozes love of country from every pore.

Join us for the answers to this and much more.Next week: GettysburgDrop us a line! Send comments and suggestions to [email protected] you like to know more? See the list of films we'd like to do?
