Elizabeth I. For many, the name conjures up an image of a majestic, regal figure. However, Elizabeth, written by Michael Hirst, directed by Shekhar Kapur, and released near the close of 1998, depicts the oft-idolized monarch in quite a different light.

Here in the United States, we like to consider ourselves a very "civilized" people, and tend to have very misguided perceptions of the people and conditions of foreign countries. The Ghost and the Darkness, released in 1996, is a classic pictorial representation of our wide-spread stereotype of life in Africa. Though this fil... More..

8 of 8

Braveheart, produced and directed by Mel Gibson, was released in 1995. It soon became the "go-to movie" for red-blooded males worldwide, its frequent blood and gore serving to satisfy the testosterone-induced need to view great brutality alongside even greater courage (I must note, however, that these acts are all being witne...

Rape. Abuse. Drugs. Gang violence. These are a small fraction of the horrors that wreak havoc on our great country.
