Select two movies from the following list -- preferably not both on the same time period. For example, do not pick Spartacus AND Gladiator, please. For each, write a review explaining to me why this film should or shouldn’t be considered for viewing in a World History class -- not just like/not like, but historical value as well. (Note: Make sure you have your parents’ permission to watch any of these that might be rated R).
