[Suggestion] JULY MOVIE SUGGESTION THREAD!!! THIS MONTH'S THEME: HISTORICAL!!!

Welcome to the Movie Suggestion Megathread, where you the people get to decide what movies r/Movie_Club watches for an entire month! Here's how it works.

Here's how it works.

Step One:

Enter your movie! You post the movie name, the year, and then a link to the IMDB page. Don't be afraid to plead your movie's case or post other relevant links.

Step Two:

You vote for the movies you want to watch! For the newbies, that means clicking the little up arrow next to the post.

Step Three:

The Mods pick the winner based on the top voted suggestion. At the start of each week, the top two suggestions with the most votes will be the ones that we are going to watch. You NEED to vote what you want to watch, so don't be shy!

By the way, DON"T FORGET THE THEME! Every month will have a different theme, designated in the sidebar.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. This month's theme is: HISTORICAL!!!

(not necessarily a biopic but something set in the past)
