V for vendetta is my go to for a political movie.
Some thought that cartoonish villains taking over western countries while the rest of the world went to shit was far fetched but here we are.
That’s the thing you don’t know if the rest of the world did go to shit. That’s the point of fascist take over and propaganda they put out. “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
The hunt for red October.
Sneakers.
Not saying ever etc… Just my favorites of the top of my head
Dredd is incredible. Super underrated.
All art is political.
The only apolitical movie I can think of is plan 9 and that is pushing it
3 Days of The Condor is the best political movie, IMHO.
Best Apolitical? Picking one of my favorites, Where Eagles Dare.
Both are watchable for free on Archive.org :D
Where Eagles Dare is a great one.
So, you’re into bird movies?
Political: I, Daniel Blake.
Apolitical: Spirited away
Dave and The Princess Bride
This is kind of cheating, but here’s a movie-length edit of Patrick “Picard” Stewart as Lenin from the miniseries “Fall of Eagles”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsiU0P-swYE
Wag the Dog is my personal political favourite – still holds up well after all these years. It came out in 1997, just at the same time the Clinton/Lewinski scandal surfaced.
All the President’s Men is my favorite political movie.
