Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Alexander Hamilton Synopsis
After the Revolution, Washington and Hamilton joined the new government. Hamilton fought for soldier pay and a national bank for foreign trade, battled 8 years for the Assumption Bill, and faced slander from Senator Roberts.
A Modern Thelma Synopsis
An English aristocrat visiting Norway falls in love with Thelma, daughter of a Viking-like Norse landowner, and this first part is an idyllic story. He marries her and takes her to England. Society women, one of whom has been infatuated with the young man, are disappointed, because Thelma is not only beautiful but has pretty manners and is popular. There is a very melodramatic conspiracy to break her heart by making her suspect her husband. It works and she runs away back to her Norway home. Her husband follows and the happy ending unites the two in the old Norse homestead.
"Alexander Hamilton" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Modern Thelma" offers its own unique cult appeal.
