 * Cautions to parents: Some of these movies contain violence, explicit language, etc. If this will bother you or your parents and/or your parents do not allow you to see an R rated movie then do NOT select those that are R rated. There are plenty of movies to choose from. Remember that some films use language and activities that are unacceptable. Older films may use racial words that are not acceptable. Most of the time they are used in context with the time period, but they still may be offensive. Some of these will be easy to find, others more difficult. If you want to know what the movie is about, look it up on www.IMDB.com. If you know of any historical movies to add, let me know and I will put them on the list.**
