Dear Mr. Taylor, See Apollo 13 for a view that is pro-American! Also Dave. Also The American President. There are others, too. Pro-American auteurs include Ron Howard, John Milius, Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future), and many comic filmmakers (Shyer, Myers, etc.). Glory is another pro-American film. Clint Eastwood made a recent film in which he played a Secret Service Agent, In the Line of Fire, which was also rather pro-American. However, your point is well taken, and the reason for books like Michael Medved's Hollywood vs.America and Richard Grenier's Capturing the Culture, which you might find of interest for your classes.
