American History X
Number 48 on IMDb’s Top 250
Nominated by Mick
Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) returns from prison to find his younger brother, Danny (Edward Furlong), caught in the same web of racism and hatred that landed him in prison. After Derek's father is killed in the line of duty by a minority, Derek's view of mankind is altered, but while in prison, he discovers that there is good and bad in every race. The task before him now is to convince Danny of his newfound enlightenment. Hilarity ensues.
Trivia: The quotation that concludes Danny's paper is from the closing words of Abraham Lincoln's first Inaugural Address in 1861. "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
I have now seen Edward Norton in several movies. Primal Fear where he plays the killer with a multiple personality disorder, Fight Club where he plays the reluctant leader of a gang of hoodlams and finds that he has a multiple personality disorder, Red Dragon where he plays a detective named Will Graham who is looking for a guy with a multiple personality disorder (ok so he doesn't have M.P.D. but he is psychotic), I have even seen a little bit of Death to Smoochy where he plays Smoochy and I have like everyone of them. Thanks Mick.

I haven't seen this movie...but I love your clip at the top of your page. "We've got cow."
Ok, I'm never going to catch you. But I can say I've seen every movie in the top 27 now.
