Re: [Marxism] request for political film suggestions

["bob" <bobo926@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

here's a few

"the formula" (Brando) about oil

The Human Stain, Nicole Kidman, Anthony Hopkins, on what it means and the
price paid to avoid being considered black

Take this job and shove it: corporate control

Gallipoli: anti war

Two films about Newark, NJ
Janey's Jane: working class feminism circa 1970
The Troublemakers: SDS urban organizing mid 1960s


just about anything that Burt Lancaster ever did seems to have something
positive, as well as some by Kirk Douglas. many of these films are not well
known.
for example,

Lancaster: "The Train" needless killing in a fight over Nazis stealing
French art

Local Hero: Globalization

Seven Days in May: right wing takeover

Separate but Equal: bio of Thurgood Marshall and Brown v. Bd. of Educ.

The Osterman Weekend: CIA

Valdez Is Coming: racism in the west

Paths of Glory: soldiers executed for lack of bravery, great anti-war,
anti-military film, Kirk Douglas, Stanley Kubrick
