Must See Movies

Appaloosa

I just watched Appaloosa with Viggo Mortensen, Ed Harris, Jeremy Irons and Renee Zellwegger. Besides an all-star cast and central featuring of many of the anarcho-capitalist aspects of Western law and justice, the scripting is superb. The movie has many humorous moments and narrative depth.

I highly recommend this movie, especially to anyone with an AC bent.

It may be a stretch, but I really liked UP.

Old man knocks some guy on the head who was fondling his sentimental posessions, giant commercial development company sues him, and the judge orders him to move into a retirement home.

He says FU world and ties balloons to his house so he can fly off to chase his lifelong dream.

Subtle, but I thought it was surprisingly adult for a Disney movie.

Oh and man, I could write a 100 page thesis paper on Fight Club, so much to that movie.
 
Did anyone mention "
the Trojan Horse", an HBO movie that was incredible? (Canada loses it's sovereignty and merges with the US!!!!!)

Who's Clayton? A movie character?
 
Zardoz with Sean Connery
While it is certainly a 70's B-movie, it gives insight into the elite's longterm plans (several hundred years into the future) for society. Just about everything depicted has been written about. I must warn you, it is really really odd.

YouTube - Trailer for Zardoz (1974)

Visoneers (2008)
Workers at the World's largest Corporation begin to spontaneously combust as the pressure of the Brave New World overtakes them, that is, until the Corporation devises new techniques of control. Really great commentary on our times.

How can Demolition Man not be on the list? Incredible movie from a liberty standpoint, and they even make a bit of prognostication, mentioning Arnold Schwarzenegger as the "first non-American born President". And this was in 1993, well before Da Gubernator got into politics.

:o

I thought it was! Maybe it's in the later section of suggestions.. I've probably forgotten to do an update in ages. Will do shortly.

A movie called Sneakers could probably fit the bill...
 
WALL-E

I just Googled "Clint Eastwood" and "libertarian" because his movies have such a strong libertarian bent. Lo and behold, he describes himself as one. I watched Gran Torino last weekend and loved it.

'The Unforgiven' has not been mentioned so far, but it is one of Eastwood's best and has a DIY justice theme.

Absolutely it has freedom implications.

In another thread I said basically this about that film.

When I saw Wall-E, I didn't just see it as some Enviro friendly film. I saw it another way. Fat, entertainment loving, Sheeple. Taken care of by the Nanny state. Finally awaken to take back control of their lives.
