This is the nomination phase. Please, don't spurt out the first thing that comes to mind. I want to know what is possibly the most american movie, ever.

Clearly the end game is a decision on what movie a person should be watching on this, our Independence Day.

I'm going to withhold my opinion for now, and just see where it takes us. Feel free to defend your choice. Do your American Duty, and make your opinion be heard. Thanks for helping out!

I nominate Rocky 4. Nothing like the underdog Americcan knocking down the big bad Soviet.

Navy underwater demolition serviceman
Navy SEAL
Professional Wrestler (WWF)
Movie Star (and gatling gun enthusiast)
Author
Divorcee
38th Governor of Minnesota

I submit that Jesse Ventura is the most American American alive.

THEREFORE Predator must be the most American movie ever.

Oh shit that movie is actually muscled to the max. Good choice. Also has the manliest arm wrestling ever captured on film.

I would put Top Gun in the running since they prevail over the commie MiGs. Also they have that cute behind the back high-five in the beach volleyball scene.

Came in here to say Rocky also. I like "Rocky Balboa". Nothing can beat his speech about freedom.

I have to agree with calgar, Top Gun is right up there and is my vote.

I originally thought of Easy Rider but it's way too arty.

UPDATE: Also... Deliverance http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068473/.

Some good contenders here. I'll throw out some nominations that have done their best to spread the American Spirit across the globe and teach others about our wonderful, rich culture.

Lesson #1: Don't fuck with America or "Americans":

Lesson #2: Don't be Russian

Lesson #3: American Presidents are not only the best Americans, but essentially super heroes.

Edit: Fuck this is totally JUST movies. My bad.

In this case, I'm going to go with Platoon, because it showed, to an accurate (I believe) level, of the shitstorm that American soldiers went through in Vietnam. And that was quite the shitstorm.

The Patriot (SELF EXPLANITORY)

I'll explain anyways.
Mel gibson spends the movie shooting rifle rounds into the whites of those redcoat eyes. When he's not doing that he's probably being even more patriotic by murdering more brits with a fucking TOMAHAWK to save AMERICA
