I Hear America Singing

By: Jerry Johnson

100 films that express America. Immigrant directors abound.

According to my count, John Ford and Jacques Tourneur are its greatest chroniclers, with Leo McCarey running a close second.

Note- this not a list of greatest American films. Vertigo, for example, would be on that list. But Vertigo does not express America…it’s all about Hitchcock.

Great list, needs Hallelujah I'm a Bum though. One of the greatest films about America and our value systems. (Lewis Milestone is next on my list of directors to hype.)

I have many objections towards this list but I'm an objective s.o.b. and I'll be a fan of this list due to my objectivity!
