    By all means, if you don't mind seeing the Klan ride in to save the day at the end, rent it.

    Well, the original title of it was The Clansman. Basically, the KKK are the good guys and freed slaves are the villains.

    Sorry about the double post, got a message saying can't post within 30 seconds so I kept on hitting post then I reentered the message manually.

    arkoe, thanks for the tips.

    In the General, the confederacy wins a battle and a the main protagonist is a confederate, which loses some points for me, but it's supposedly based on a true story, so I'll cut it some slack, also, unlike many modern films and TV shows, it actually has folks of color.

    Excellent movie. One of the best movies ever made IMHO. Spencer Tracy at his best.

    Then you've obviously never seen volumes 8, 11, or 13!

    That may have been scary a half-century ago, but man, what a yawner it is today. I haven't seen the remake, although I've heard that it's even worse.
