United 93 was absolutely amazing and I'd recommend everybody view it. I don't believe in "too soon". It's heartwrenching to watch, and believe me, it will take you right back to that day. I thought about it all night. In fact, I had a lot of difficulty sleeping. However, it was no ooh rah salute to patriotism. It played much more like a documentary. No filler story-lines or added faux relationship stories ala' Pearl Harbor & Titanic.

I loved the usage of unknown actors. For me, there was no distraction and you felt as though you were right there on the plane with them. Had Tom Cruise or Bruce Willis stormed the cockpit, I wouldn't have even watched it.
