You remember challenging movies. They happened after Vietnam, they happened after WWII. People have made movies about death, depression, insanity, murder, transexualism, race, rape, love, friendship and family all with sensitivity.
I don't think it's "thumbs up." I DEMAND 9/11 movies. How has no one had the courage in four years to take this on? Where's my Mississippi Burning, Schindler's List or American History X?

I see your point, but there's a difference between the movies you cite as examples and September 11th. Your movies tackled huge issues that were dividing the people. A movie about September 11th would be about one specific, horrific event.
A movie about terrorism? Great! A movie about a terrorist attack that rocked the United States? No thanks.
