Answers:
Social: You have to have "West Side Story," "The Graduate," "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "Kramer vs!. Kramer," "United 93," "Brokeback Mountain," etc!.
Historical: "Braveheart," "Dances with Wolves," "Schindler's List," "Saving Private Ryan," "Bridge on the River Kwai," "Empire of the Sun," "Letters to Iwo Jima"/"Flags of Our Fathers," or almost any biography!. Try something like "Gandhi," "Amadeus," "Malcolm X," or "The Pianist!."
Political: What about some of those other Oliver Stone movies, like "Nixon" or "Born on the Fourth of July"!? Then, there's stuff like "Mr!. Smith Goes to Washington," "All the King's Men" (the original), "Patton," "The Manchurian Candidate," and even modern movies like "Head of State!."
Basically, look at whatever was up for the Oscar in a single year!. That will give you a huge amount to choose from!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

"To Kill A Mockingbird" "Schindler's List" "Standard Operating Procedure" "In the Heat of the Night" 'Capote" "Eight Men Out" "The Thin Blue Line" "JFK" "1776" "The China Syndrome" All of these movies/stories are 'real' in that they actually happened pretty much as they are shown in the movie!. 8~)Www@Enter-QA@Com
