Must See Movies

Anyone seen The Kingdom yet, a recent film starring Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner?

I just did and really, really liked it. I haven't analyzed it too much, but I believe it to basically be a non-interventionist film, and in the intro, it seems to be a Ron Paul talking points history of the Middle East.
 
I haven't looked through this thread yet, but the Running Man (Arnold S.) should definitely be included. Large aspects of that movie have come to pass in 20 years. The basic theme is propagandist diversion in the name of entertainment... Note: Already mentioned, but needs to be mentioned again. ;)

Also, the Manchurian Candidate, either the original with Sinatra or the newer version. Both are good.

Spy Game (Redford) ...
Absolute Power with Gene Hackman Laura Linney (MY FAVORITE MALE ACTOR and ACTRESS RESPECTIVELY)
Enemy of the State with Gene Hackman Note: Already mentioned, but needs to be mentioned again. ;)
Skulls (Joshua Jackson)
Sneakers (Redford)

This is about Argentina's 2002 economic meltdown and is excellent, with many implications for us:

Official name: Memoria del Saqueo by Fernando Solanas 2003

Also called Social Genocide on Amazon. Translation of name would be Memory of Plundering.
 
I just saw Eagle Eye (in theaters now). It was pretty good, despite some crappy reviews. It has a strong "fight Big Brother" theme, along with a lot of non-stop action.
