You are missing "Path to 9-11" this shows how bureacracy fails and demonstrates Harry Browne's view that government doesn't work. It also blames both Clinton and Bush Adminstrations.

Last, it also states how Al-Qaeda attacked the United States because of our Foreign Policy.

You Can't Take It With You

There have been DVD's made for it. It was orginally a tv made movie and it was recently on youtube before it was taken down.

If you have not seen "The Pentagon Wars", you should. Not only is it funny as hell it's based on a true story.

"Over seventeen years almost as many billion dollars have gone into devising the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. Theres only one problem it doesn't work. Now Kelsey Grammer and Cary Elwes star in a movie based on the hilarious ture story of the outrageous lengths the Pentagon goes to defend our country at any cost."

Robin Hood (1938)

Shit you not... saw a vital bit; not the whole thing - Olympics is on...

The exchange went, from a princess to Robin Hood; but you're thieves, robbers, murders... what will you do with all the money you've taken (from the king)

He then has a little good little exchange and asks her to come with him... he takes her and shows all these poor people, hungry, beaten up, abused,.. and literally says, they had their houses burned from the tax collectors, they come to him for protection... against the normans (the state), they'll give the money back to the people

The quality of it was epic.. color, all good actors, great exchanges - far better than anything that could be written today imo.

Yes! GREAT movie!!!

Another classic from that era (also starring Errol Flynn and Olivia DeHavilland) which explores anti-authoritarian, individualistic themes is "Captain Blood", a very engaging classic pirate/swashbuckling film. A 17th-century English doctor (Flynn) defies the Crown by treating enemy soldiers, is sold into slavery by the King, and eventually resorts to fierce rebellion against his captors on the high seas!

Another hearty recommendation for "12 Angry Men" too. For such a "talky" film (the entire 2-hour work is set in one room, with almost no action at all), it's incredibly compelling. I've seen it at least 20 times, and it thrills me just as completely with every viewing, especially because of the crackling dialogue and command performances by a dream-cast of character actors like Jack Klugman, Jack Warden, Martin Balsam, and Lee J. Cobb!

Still, I'm surprised to see that I haven't seen at least three quarters of the films on this list. I've got some serious work to do!

Gran Torino.

Dr. Zhivago (Rp's favorite movie) was awesome.

I can tell why he likes it now. VERY anti-communism.

The International?

Rollover?

Queimada starring Marlon Brando is pretty good. It shows how governments, via their armies, pillage other places for the benefit of the politically connected. However, the director goes after the profit motive and tries to make the point that profit is a bad thing. That makes sense since the director was a socialist. However, the elephant in the room is how the government serves the interest of the politically connected to the detriment of "the people".
