Inspired by the opening line of Bwood's Top Gun: Maverick review in PTP.

"The first one is part of the holy trinity of cinematic Caucasity."

A lot of us overlooked it, but someone caught this gem, and got us wondering: WTF is the Holy Trinity Of Cinematic Caucasity?

Bwood hasn't replied yet, but we're not waiting around.

So far, Top Gun is firmly the head of the Trinity, the Superman to the Batman and Wonder Woman of the other two, with Rocky emerging as a favorite for the second.

Personally, I think Rocky II is the one in this Trinity, for obvious reasons.

The third is where we seem to be stuck, with some saying Godfather, and others saying Braveheart. I think both are subsets of a category unto themselves.

Braveheart, for example, really seems like the standard issue pregame before an Act Of Caucasity, i.e, Charlottesville, Jan 6, penning a manifesto, etc.

Not Holy Trinity material, IMO. So we're hashing that out.

But then I thought, why stop at the Holy Trinity? There's so much more Cinematic Caucasity worthy of discussion, including subcategories (see Braveheart) of Caucasity.

What sayest you?

Oh yeah: Maverick is sitting at 97% in Rotten Tomatoes, and 81% on Metacritic.
