Four Friends - Arthur Penn
Breaking Away - (Working class townies vs. upper class frat college guys.
Notable in that most Hollywood class conflict narratives seem to
be MIDDLE class/upper class, e.g. recent film- name???- where
Brendan Fraser is the Jewish kid who goes to a prep school on a
football scholarship.)
Rudy - (typical ideological Hollywood treatment, kid gets out of steel
mill by fighting for that dream!)
The Sayles Film on the Black Sox scandal (was it called 8 Men Out?)
