19. Lincoln (2012)

The movie Lincoln, directed by Steven Spielberg, focuses on President Abraham Lincoln's final months and his efforts to pass the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery. Daniel Day-Lewis's portrayal of the legendary President is mesmerizing as he captures the deep sense of moral conviction, sharp political shrewdness, and personal struggles the man was known for. In combination with the film's historical accuracy and its nuanced take on the leadership of Lincoln, there is an intimate look into the man who guided this nation through its Civil War and attempted to heal its wounds.
