Liberty Movies

[Kat Kanning]

Hey, I want to make a webpage suggesting good liberty oriented movies.  Do you guys have any suggestions.  Here are ones we've liked recently:

Harry's War (Just watched this last night )
The Castle (Aussie movie about eminent domain...very funny.)
You Can't Take it with You (oldie but great piece about the IRS)
The Patriot
Braveheart
The Terminal (Showed how mindless government works.)

Jeremiah Johnson
Shows the ability for people to get along without the STATE.

I have a DVD of J.J. if anyone is interested in seeing it. 

[Kat Kanning]

Could show it at the freedom film festival in Nashua sometime

[AlanM]

Do they show DVDs at the film festival?

[Kat Kanning]

Yes, you can do video or DVD.

They probably have a movie for this month, but maybe not next.  Fred and Jack are great guys.  I'll send you Fred's email if you want to talk to him about it.

[AlanM]

Please do, Kat.
I didn't know about the FFF. Sounds great. Unfortunately I work 2-10PM. Drat.

Pro-Liberty Movies:

The Matrix (the first Matrix only)

The Chronicles of Riddick (The end is questionable though.  Did he take power or not?)

Minority Report

Escape from L.A.  - If there was a reset button on society, would you push it?  I know I would.   

The House of Sand and Fog - Shows what happens when the IRS fucks you over, and shows that people should treat others according to the Golden Rule, regardless of how the government treats them.

I, Robot - Robots decide that they need to take over the entire world in order to protect us from ourselves.  Sound familiar?   

Terminator 1, 2, and especially 3 - Shows what happens when the government is allowed to have too much power.


Anti-Liberty Movies:

Hero (with Jet Li).
-Hero is machiavellian "peace at any price" SHIT if you ask me, just like the third Matrix.  When given a choice, the assassin decides not to kill the emperor, but to allow this psychopath to take over a dozen countries, "unify" them into one massive empire, and build an unprecedented wall to "protect" the people, all in the name of "peace."  bleh.   

The Matrix Revolutions.
-Live Free or... not.  In this film, the hero first unites with the system to defeat a supposedly greater threat, defeats that threat, then gives up his fight against the system in the name of "peace" because he was about to lose the battle against it.  Disgusting.


That's just an initial list off the top of my head.  Can we do SONGS now?

Pro-Liberty Movie:

Gattaca - One man puts up a tremendous effort to overcome Big Brother in an Orwellian society where all are judged on their DNA and all children are genetically engineered.

[Lloyd Danforth]

I've never seen a film that I would call a 'Liberty' movie, however, I think Hombre and Death Wish have interesting main characters.
I recently bought the 1st season  of a TV show from the late 1950's: 'Have Gun- Will Travel'.  For you young'ins, the main character is a Gunfighter who, when not working, lives 'high on the hog', as a cultured gentlman in a Hotel in San Francisco.  When on the job, he is effective, compationate and moral, usually, at a profit.

[Russell Kanning]

Education of Little Tree

[Ron Helwig]

Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead

What happens when some spoiled kids are forced to fend for themselves without "Big Nanny"?

[Kat Kanning]

Judgement at Nuremberg.

Man that was a powerful movie.

[Michael Fisher]

Judgement at Nuremburg.

Man that was a powerful movie.

Is that the black and white film made in 1961?? Or did they remake it?
