Virtually any film by Ken Loach, particularly "Land and Freedom" - about
the Spanish Civil War. Also Polonsky' "Tell them Willie Boy is here,
Michael Cimino's "Heaven's Gate", Coppola's "Apocalypse Now".

Also such classics as Eisenstein's films - particularly "Battleship
Potemkin" and "October". And "Harlan County USA".
