Ok. they did get 2 things correct.
Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas.
Garrison did put Clay Shaw on trial.

The rest of that movie is absolute bullshit.

Even that wonderful speech Garrison gave on the final day of the trial, as being played by Costner, was not given.
Garrison wasn't even there at the trial the last day.

Garrison was a grandstander who let organized crime figures off the hook.
He also tried to paint Clay Shaw as part of a "homosexual thrill killer group."

Yes. Even really well-made movies can be absolute horseshit.
Going back to "Birth Of A Nation."

I merely quoted a film. I skated right over discussion of the accuracy of said film.

Likewise DW Griffith.

Griffith was a genius, in the silent film era.

But his biggest film was "Birth Of A Nation," a racist retelling of Recontruction.

I enjoyed a lot of movies Clint Eastwood was in, but his asinine stunt with that chair (that was supposed to represent Obama,) and his recent films, including "Outlaw Josey Wales" and "Richard Jewell" show just what a piece of shit he really is.

Also, there's the actor Jeffrey Jones.
He was great in the movies "Beetlejuice" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

But he wrecked his reputation completely by traveling to Asia to set up sex with children.

I'd never heard of this comedian, but his humor is GREAT! (And how apropos to our time now.)

Our teacher was a character. She taught us the typical dance steps, but also let us do the Stroll. She was about 50 or so and would sort of shout "Stroll!" just as the music started...

Saw that very song performed on Ed Sullivan, then went to see the musical itself it on stage at the Heinz Theater in Pittsburgh in the early 70's. (Watched the movie MANY times over.)

It's the JFK movie. (Though I can SEE that reference to line dancing. I have no grace or talent for 'hoofing' of any kind, so any dancing is out of my wheelhouse.)
