1776 (Restored Director's Cut)
The hit Broadway musical by Peter Stone and Sherman Edwards became the basis for this 1972 film about America's first congress and the nation's declaration of independence from Britain. Most of the original cast members are aboard, including William Daniels as John Adams. The film is a little stodgy and moves stiffly from scene to scene--the adaptation to the screen is not a smooth success. But it is nonetheless captivating, considering that so few films have dealt directly with America's birth. Directed by Peter H. Hunt. --Tom Keogh more

Firstly, if you've never seen this movie, do. Period. You'd never think that a movie or a Broadway musical about the Declaration of Independence could be interesting; after all, we know how it ends. But this is an entertaining and...

"1776" is an old favorite for my husband and his family, and no matter how many times I'm made to watch it (or to listen to my husband re-enact it in its entirety), it never gets tiresome. In masterful musical form, "1776" presents the...

- Party like it's 1776
"1776" is a concept musical--who were the men behind the Declaration of Independence? What were the circumstances that brought us the Bill of Rights? "1776" seems to be timely (it was made in 1972,still during the Vietnam War) It's about...
