Okay, I'll play. "Pulp Fiction" reflects American nostalgic yearnings for long-gone heroism, honor, and folklore. "Titanic" shows that America is filled with the optimism of the fat and rich, or the dead poor, both ignorant of the looming iceberg we're headed toward in the future. And "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" proves that we'll watch anything if it is pretty (and some who shall remain nameless have a "major jones" for Natalie Portman).

I think Star Wars as fanciful as it may be is part of the American culture across the ages. For many, first it was Princess Lia; then it was Queen Amidala. ;-)

  "Forrest Gump" fulfills the American need to feel good about our past, to bring some sense-of-closure about ugly events, and to try to make sense of things and give them meaning in our lives.

    Perhaps. However I do not feel 90s in that film. You know which moment make me REALY feel 90s? It is just 2 min episode from Clerks where the guy tried to select the �perfect egg�. O, man! I go absolutely ballistic over it!
