Karen: There's a lovely scene in the Jean Genet film, "The Balcony." Shelley Winters plays the madame of a brothel, whose primary clientele consists of members of the "establishment." It is pure political and social satire. Winters employs a young woman bookkeeper who finally decides she wants a more exciting life than continuing with her present work, and asks Winters if she can join her staff of prostitutes. Winters says "no," telling the young woman that the world is full of whores, and that what it needs most is a few good bookkeepers!
 
What about the original "the seven samuri?" I believe that was the inspiration to the "good the bad and the ugly" if I'm not mistaken. Both great movies.
 
Not sure about CaddyShack, but thats all right.

I would definately add the complete Planet Of The Apes series to the list.

Jericho is not on that list. :mad:

Its a show but it has probably the most blatent libertarian themes of any show on TV.
 
300

It's pretty late at night, but I didn't catch 300 anywhere on this thread. That movie is pure Liberty.
 
Isn't Soylent Green... kind of against corporations?

What are the other ones like? :o

Soylent Green is Malthusian, dystopian and "environmental". But it does show the results of the unholy alliance of mega-hyper-global corporations and the government. Stars Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson

12 Monkeys is "anti" environmental extremism. It shows, again, a dystopian future where people are forced underground and live in tyranny, in order to escape a man made plague that was released on purpose by an environmental zealot who thought the earth would be better off if humanity were to die. Stars Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt.

Watership Down is animated. Like the book of the same name, it stars...rabbits. (what is it with the British and bunnies?) Anyway, the movie explores various rabbit societies, loosely anthropomorphized into human societies, and how freedom and peace are what, ultimately, makes a new warren, or rabbit colony, survive and prosper.
