Schmaltzy? Just wait for the soundtrack, the french horns and military snare drums, the music swelling all Spielberg style at just the right moment...

"Schmaltzy" might just be the right word...

Documentaries, I understand, but cheap Hollywood (Over)dramatizations, I have no stomach for.[/b]
I just watched United 93 for the first time on HBO. Gutwrenching. Overwhelming. Respectful. As the movie ended, I just sat there in utter silence until the final credit rolled. The final 15 minutes of this film are as intense as the first 10 of Saving Private Ryan.

The reason why I chose this post to bump the only real thread on this film was so I could let others enjoy two of XOC's biggest armchair critics get proven wrong.

No french horns. No "schmaltz". Just an amazing movie that depicts the heros of 9/11. Oh - if my opinion isn't enough, the movie made almost every critic's top 10 (top 5 actually) list of 2006.
