Well, thinking about the whole 'F 9/11' phenomenon made me start to think, what are some of my other favorite political films?

Barbara Kopple's films, especially 'Harlan County' and 'American Dream'.

John Sayles' films, but especially 'Matewan'.

'Z'.

'Local Hero'.

'Sarafina' - LOVED those kids!

Kubrick's 'Dr Strangelove' and 'Clockwork Orange'.

Several films with Laura Dern connected to all of them: 'Bastard Out of Carolina', 'Citizen Ruth', and 'Down Came a Blackbird' (Raul Julia's last film).

And Raul Julia's films: the above mentioned, and the delicious 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' (one of all time faves), and he absolutely channeled the man in 'Romero'!

'Before Night Falls'. Beautiful film.

'Cradle Will Rock' - brilliant!

'Elizabeth' - w/the wonderful Cate Blanchett

'Julia'-Vanessa Redgrave & Jane Fonda, and a Haskell Wexler cinematography masterpiece.

Spike Lee's films, but especially 'Four Little Girls', 'Do the Right Thing' and 'Bamboozled'.

So many great ones! And so many stinkers! I can think of LOTS of those I've seen over the years too!
