Top-10 Thursday: Proud to be an American

With July 4 this weekend, I think it's time to give you 10 great movies about America and America's awesomeness. I know you haven't seen all of these. An no, Team America: World Police is not on the list.

Before I get started with the list, I want to share a quick e-mail I got on last week's top-10: Guilty Pleasures.

Robb wrote in with his ten, No. 1 being Legally Blonde. No. 3 was What Women Want, to which he wrote "I remember when this movie came out, my friends and I went to see Ali, and my friends' moms went to see What Women Want. 9 years later, I haven't seen Ali again and I've seen What Women Want about a dozen times. I guess the old saying is true: mother knows best."

Thanks Robb.
