My oldest son has taken an interest in American History recently so I wanted together a chronology of movies. An issue i keep running into though is that these lists are made by people who are afraid of being judged or people who just dont give a poo poo at all. He's going to be 9 and asked me if he could watch Lincoln the other day but I know he'd get bored. Anyone have suggestions?

It's worth a shot (maybe with some breaks in between). But history couched in an adventure is always a good angle, e.g. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly or Bridge on the River Kwai.

Just make sure to watch American History I through IX in order before you get to X, or it won't make any sense

Prey just came out on Hulu which is an excellent docudrama of life on the Great Plains circa 1719.

Ken Burn's The West is pretty good. I think his documentaries are made well enough to hold a kid's attention if he's into the subject matter.

Despite releasing in the 1980s, they managed to make a documentary about modern life in Detroit, it was called Robocop.

"The Birth of a Nation" and "Gone With the Wind" double feature. Followed by American History X. This is also a quick test of your parenting and whether you need to Scott Adams your kid.
