Well, My APUSH teacher (We were talking about great depression a few weeks ago and we go on & off about The Great Depression and minor depressions) gave us a list of movies for extra credit to watch.

You can check if they relate to Great Depression or background at imdb or something.

The Crucible The Scarlet letter The Crossing*
The Patriot* Amistad* Moby Dick
Gettysberg Glory* Gods and Generals
Gone with the wind The Miracle Worker An American Tale
Far and Away* Gangs of New York* Cold Mountain
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee*

Untouchables* Cinderella Man* The Cotton Club*
Charriots of Fire Seabiscuit* The Color Purple*
Matewan Something the Lord Made* To Kill a Mockingbird*
Warm Springs The Grapes of Wrath The Great Gatsby
Modern Times The Great Dictator Fat Man and Little Boy
Judgment at Nuremberg The Longest Day Memphis Belle
Thin Red Line Catch 22 Hart’s War
Patton Truman Tora! Tora! Tora!
Tuskegee Airmen* Windtalkers* Saving Private Ryan
The Right Stuff * Apollo 13 All the President’s Men*
Hoosiers The Joy Luck Club* October Sky*
Malcolm X* Mississippi Burning* Rosewood
13 Days* Live from Baghdad* The Hollywood Ten*
The Insider Not Without My Daughter* Silkwood*
Quiz Show Summer of Sam Casualties of War Good Night and Good Luck Manchurian Candidate Born on the 4th of July Full Metal Jacket Platoon* The Killing Fields
We Were Soldiers Jarhead* Capote
Ghost of Mississippi* Flyboys* Flags of Our Fathers
All the King’s Men Journey From the Fall*


I know it mite be unorganized because I tried to put it together since it was in 3 columns. Ignore the stars since that's what our teacher reccommends us to watch (which is even more extra credit points) xD. Hope this list helps.
