Meanwhile, Persia already had a federalized secular nation characterized by a high degree of local autonomy (including democratic elections in the cities where that was the preferred practice) and was essentially slavery-free. Imagine how much sooner our version of freedom would have blossomed had they won out in…

Not only did the Greeks practice - nay, utterly depend upon - slavery; Persia didn't practice it at all, and made a habit of freeing all the slaves of conquered territory. The Greeks were fighting for their way of life in an eerily similar manner to the American South during the civil war.

It's missing Jackie Brown. Unless it's a list of the best movies excluding Jackie Brown which is obviously the best.
