Lonestar (by John Sayles) is one of the best movies ever made. It's about: small town racism, generational conflict, affects of military on rural towns, sports fanatacism and border politics. And it's a first rate love story and a murder mystery too.
It has (obviously) multiple plot lines, but they never confuse. It has a large cast that is all first rate, and doesn't bite off more than it can chew. Sayles is a genius filmmaker.
Oh yeah, his other films are good too. Try "Matewan" or "The Secret of Roan Inish".
