Hello, I am doing research pertaining to American film. I need suggestions for films from the '70's and '80's dealing with the struggle and survival of the individual against some outside force (war, natural disaters, unjust gov'ts.). I am trying to avoid Combat films and Westerns and those dealing with substance abuse.I want to single out the "regular" American in the Capra tradition--ordinary citizens caught in extraordinary situations. From other decades, I have singled out films like--GONE WITH THE WIND, SHENANDOAH, SPARTACUS, SCHINDLER'S LIST,etc... My mind seems to be blank for the 70's and 80's--I know I am forgetting some great films. I was thinking of BRAZIL--but is that not a British production!? Any help is greatly appreciated.
