Amistad

Roots (Four-Disc 30th Anniversary Edition)
$59.98
I love this series. I had a VHS copy and needed to replace it with the DVD collection. I show excerpts to my history students as it gives a sober visual to supplement the unit on the transatlantic slave trade. You can not beat the value at Amazon.com

Malcolm X
$14.98
THE MOVIE WAS A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT AFTER READING THE BOOK(AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOM X BY ALEX HALEY). THE MOVIE HAD SOME GREAT ACTORS LIKE DENZEL WASHINGTON AND YET, IT WAS STILL VERY DULL. "DIRECTOR" SPIKE LEE RUINED A GREAT CHANCE OF TELLING THE AMAZING STORY OF MALCOM X.

The Tuskegee Airmen
$5.98
I thought that htis was one of the best movies that I have watched. I met members of this group at a Veterans event and it was great to get a perspective of their extraodinary service to our country.

Amistad

1. I'm not able to attest to the historical accuracy of this movie (I need to read up on this story in more detail), but the movie is well made, entertaining and inspirational. A definite worthwhile movie for all to see (other than small kids).
