Making a list of Great Movies for Democrats to Watch--any suggestions?

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

I have this so far:

1. 12 Angry Men--Henry Fonda's character stands up against bigotry against minorties and the poor.

2. Silkwood

3. Norma Rae

4. Erin Brokovitch

All of the above three involve real stories of strong women who stood up against the system. In the case of Norma Rae, she was intsrumental in bringing organized labor to her part of the Deep South. In Silkwood, Karen Silkwood (played by Meryl Streep) stands up to her nuclear plant's blatant disregard for the safety of their employees and the surrounding area. Erin Brokovitch--one woman takes on water polluting industries.

5. ?????

I'm looking for movies that don't just have an underdog, but an underdog fighting for the kinds of things Dems believe in--equality, compassion, safety, good schools, environmental protections, the right to organize and collective bargaining in labor, etc.

Any help? After this election is over I want to start a Dem website (yeah I know ANOTHER Dem website). But I will focus on Democratic reading lists, great Dem movies, the philosophy, ideals and goals of Dems, etc. Sort of a great overview and personal look at what it is to be an American Democrat. I've got a looooong reading list so far, and I know there are a lot of great movies, I just have to figure them out, so I thought maybe I could get some help here. I am also scrounging around on the AFI site and imdb.com

Thanks!

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. Try some of these

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

3. Great List

and Cold Mountain, that's a good one. I love Renee Zellwegger's quotes about men starting wars.

Need to look at it more.....good site!!!

The Color Purple, another good one.

[Ivote]

5. One Woman One Vote

About the struggle for womans right to vote

How could America call itself the world's greatest democracy but deny the right to vote to more than half its citizens? Why did so many people of both genders vehemently oppose giving women the vote, and how was this attitude overcome? ONE WOMAN, ONE VOTE documents the seventy-year battle for woman suffrage, which finally culminated in the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution. From Elizabeth Cady Stanton's electrifying call for women's rights at Seneca Falls in 1848, to the last no-holds-barred fight in 1920, this film illuminates the story of the fledgling alliances that grew into a sophisticated mass movement. To the end, crusaders faced entrenched opposition from men and women who feared that the women's vote would ignite into a social revolution. The film portrays the movement's leaders among them Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul, who gave their lives to making America a true democracy.

[maveric]

All the Pesidents Men
Grapes of Wrath
Dr. Strangelove

[Gothic Sponge]

2. Bob Roberts

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

4. Never heard of it!

Thanks, I'll go look it up!

[TexasBushwhacker]

29. Awesome flick!

[unfrigginreal]

6. The Grapes of Wrath

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

OMG HOW could I have forgotten that one?

That's one of my favorite films of all time! Tom Joad's character is on the top 50 list on AFI for top heroes.

So is Atticus Finch...and there's another one: To Kill A Mockingbird. Thanks!

[Lisa]

48. especially since W himself called it "corny"!

His Harvard Business School prof showed it in class, and W heckled it. Typical!

[FreedomFry]

85. Junior Silver-Spoon couldn't relate.

With everything handed to him on a platinum platter all his sordid little life, there's no way he could have related to Tom, Ma, et al. Might as well try to explain poverty, joblessness and layoffs to him.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Chocolat, Koyaanisqatsi , It's A Wonderful Life

(and the other qatsi movies)

Babette's Feast
Star Wars movies
Moster's Ball
Lawrence of Arabia

[pippin]

8. Two Gregory Peck Movies

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
(Plays Atticus Finch, a lawyer in the Depression-era South, who defends a black man against an undeserved rape charge and his kids against prejudice.)

and

Gentleman's Agreement (1947)
(A reporter pretends to be Jewish in order to cover a story on anti-Semitism, and personally discovers the true depths of bigotry and hatred.)

[Kathleen04]

58. Just saw Gentleman's Agreement

Very good movie. :)

[Krupskaya]

9. Here's a couple:

All the President's Men, Matewan (WV mining strike), Serpico.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

12. I've been told

I need to watch all three of those. In fact, we have the first and third one somewhere around here on VHS. Thanks, I wouldn't have remembered those.

[ikojo]

34. Another one by John Sayles is Sunshine State..

which really showcases how Real Estate "developers" pit people against one another in the name of greed.

Great movie!

[Gothic Sponge]

15. Matewan is a great film!

Very underrated.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

17. I've never even heard of it! eom

[derbstyron]

70. John Sayles

I love John Sayles!

Try, if you already haven't, the stellar "City of Hope". I think it's his best.

[tekriter]

10. To Kill a Mockingbird

n/t

[gmoney]

11. Mr Smith Goes to Washington

It's a little corny, but it's 100% relevant today

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

14. Another one that's a "need to see" for me

thank you, thank you!!!

[tekriter]

13. "To Kill a Mockingbird"

n/t

[fizzana]

16. Z - directed by Costa Gravas (sp)

very pertinent these days.

[TexasBushwhacker]

28. Great film, also ....

Missing (1982) - Jack Lemmon

The Killing Fields (1984) - Sam Waterston

Romero (1989) - Raul Julia

Salvador (1986) - James Woods

[TexasBushwhacker]

18. If you're looking for whistleblowers

The Insider, with Russell Crowe and Al Pacino, is great. Also "Marie" with Sissy Spacek (1985) about an attorney in Tennessee who uncovered corruption on the state parole board.

I'd also so that "The Parallax View" is a great conspiracy flick and "Bulworth" is great political satire. Both star Warren Beatty.

[Sporadicus]

33. Another Whistleblower Film: Silkwood n/t

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

45. that's in my original post, one of my favs. I just bought it on DVD! eom

[Lavender Brown]

19. Not at all on par with the other suggestions

More of a guilty pleasure - "The American President" with Michael Douglas and Annette Bening. :) He is a Democratic president who faces reelection against a Dick Cheney-esque sleazebag.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

21. No that's good too

glad you reminded me of it!!!

[Gothic Sponge]

20. Police Academy 3

;)

[Sporadicus]

22. Anything in Michael Moore's Catalog n/t

[Droopy]

23. Now how could y'all forget "They Live."

Sheesh. The director of the film said that the movie was a direct backlash against the Reagan years. It's action packed and funny in parts with a great underlying Dem theme.

[CanuckAmok]

30. Some of Rowdy Roddy Piper's best work!

[Pushed To The Left]

24. Here are some good ones I've seen

Bulworth

To Kill A Mockingbird

Bob Roberts

Antz

[gmoney]

25. A Civil Action

Presents the positive side of the much vilified "trial lawyers"...

[no_hypocrisy]

26. "The Candidate" (Robert Redford).

"Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (Gary Cooper)
"Elmer Gantry" (Burt Lancaster) Watch to see how Jerry F. is a rank amateur.
"Shane" (Alan Ladd)
"Cradle Will Rock"

[OrwellwasRight]

64. Robert Redford's Other Great Flicks for Dems

Three Days of the Condor
All the President's Men

[Jade Fox]

74. Sneakers!

[CanuckAmok]

27. Cradle Will Rock...and a couple more

the story of the WPA and the Federal Theatre Project's demise due to alleged infiltration by Communists. It's about so much more, too.

It's a brilliant ensemble cast: John and Joan Cusack, Bill Murray, Susan Sarandon, Emily Watson, Dennis Quaid... and directed by Tim Robbins.


I also reccommend "Focus", based on the Henry Miller play, starring Laura Dern, William H. Macy, Meatloaf and David Paymer.

Oh, and that Woody Allen movie about the Blacklist, but I forget the title...

[Sporadicus]

32. GMTA!

We were preparing our respective posts about 'Cradle Will Rock' at the same time!

[Sporadicus]

31. Cradle Will Rock

A true story of politics and art in the 1930s USA, centered around a leftist musical drama and attempts to stop its production. Written and directed by Tim Robbins. With Hank Azaria, Rubén Blades, Joan Cusack, John Cusack, Cary Elwes, Philip Baker Hall, Cherry Jones, Angus Macfadyen, Bill Murray, Vanessa Redgrave, Susan Sarandon, Jamey Sheridan, John Turturro, Emily Watson, Bob Balaban, Jack Black...many, many more! It's a travesty that this film tanked at the box office. I enjoyed it immensely!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

36. Wow, how have I never heard of THAT film???

Sounds great!!

[CanuckAmok]

37. Hmmm....

...a stellar cast in a highly intelligent film critical of pollitical attepmpts to control the media and art? Yes, indeed, how is it that most of us haven't heard of it...?

[CanuckAmok]

39. I should also add...

...that much of the movie is based on real events surrounding the performance of Marc Blitstein's political play, "The Cradle Will Rock". The whole FTP was shut down specifically so this higly controvertial play (directed by Orson Welles, no less) wouldn't be performed. The way that it is finally performed in the movie is what really happened, and it's a moving scene which always brings tears to my eyes.

If you're not familiar with Blitstein, check this out:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0312026072/103-0143278-8455834?v=glance

"The name of Marc Blitstein -- an extrordinarily talented and nearly forgotten 20th cnetury American composer -- resurfaced last year when Tim Robbins' film "Cradle Will Rock" lovingly resurrected the New York cultural scene during the Depression. The film builds to the glorious moment in 1937 when Orson Welles, John Housman and a bunch of courageous performers (all of whom risked forfeiting their W.P.A. paychecks and rejoining the breadlines) defied the Government's lockout and marched 20 blocks to a hastily rented theater for the opening performance of Blitzstein's delightful agitprop musical. The film doesn't tell us much about Blitstein, who comes across a driven, somewhat strange songwriter who recently lost his wife. Eric Gordon's remarkable biography fills in the blamks..."

[Nay]

35. In the Time of the Butterflies, a story about the Mirabal sisters, who

opposed Trujillo's regime in the Dominican Republic.

El Norte -- about a brother and sister who come to the US illegally over Mexican border.

I second the movie "Salvador" -- absolutely heartwrenching

Dave -- about a double for the President who does a better job than the real one.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

38. Meet John Doe....

A Hollywood classic with Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck.

He plays a ex-ball player who's riding the rails and she's a reporter who hires him to be the "face" of John Doe, a media creation of hers who is supposed to be an average guy giving America his opinion on politics, the country, and the people. And, oh, yeah, "John" has told the subscribers he intends on committing suicide because of his despair over the condition ofter world.

His homespun, working class honesty (all crafted by the reporter) takes America by storm and creates a political movement, which the big, bad editors of the paper decide to use to get the paper's owner into the presidency.

The movie is wonderful and is alive with that 30s-40s American idealism that gives me goosebumps. And if you aren't crying by the end of the suicide scene, there's something wrong with you. :)

Just added another one that should be required viewing, especially now. it is called "The Mortal Storm" and star Jimmy Stewart, Margaret Sullivan, and Robert Young. It takes place in the German alps around the rise of Hitler and looks at everything we are facing ourselves right now: nationalism, patriotism, allegiance to a leader and the damning of anyone who doesn't toe the party line.

I first saw it on TCM during the lead-up to the invasion and was BLOWN AWAY by what I was seeing. There was a scene in which a Hitler-loving Robert Young jumps all over a Hitler-questioning Jimmy Stewart and actually tells him "You're either with us or against us!"

It is a chilling movie to watch when you are actually living it.

Shoot, just remembered another one! It's "The Farmer's Daughter" with Loretta Young and Joseph Cotton. She's a young Swedish-American gal off to study nursing who takes an unexpected turn into politics. It is full of Bobbie Kennedy democratic ideals, and talks about things like free milk programs for school kids, the need for a better minimum wage, and condemns bigots and those who would create an America only of rich, white people.

[CanuckAmok]

40. "Dave". n/t

[name not needed]

41. The Candidate

42. Sea Biscuit

[POed_Ex_Repub]

43. 1984... The Sundance Channel version n/t

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

46. Another classic, thanks!

[HEyHEY]

44. The Front page

Great comedy with Jack Lemon and Walter Matheu

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

47. Hey I just saw that at the Movie Trading Company

where we were spending too much money on DVDs, as usual (not because they are expensive, but because we buy too many of them...they are all used...).

I should have bought it. Next time.

[Downtown Hound]

49. Here's a few

Bob Roberts
Dr. Strangelove
Mississippi Burning
Any Star Wars film (rebels against the evil empire, you know)
Gandhi
Born on the Fourth of July
Animal House (drunk slackers against frat boy Republican snobs, you gotta love it)

[gmoney]

50. FIGHT CLUB

more "anti-corporate" than "pro-Democrat" but the Space Monkeys surely deliver a strong message

[CanuckAmok]

61. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. n/t

[DrZeeLit]

51. Casablanca, A Man for All Seasons, Sneakers..

... I admit to being a movie junkie, but I tend toward comedies. Sneakers is like that -- a comedy but it sort of has a point. Maybe.

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

52. Runaway Train with Jon Voight and Eric Roberts

Not only the best action film of all time, but the most realistic depiction of prison in any American film.

[Gothic Sponge]

54. Great film!

Most people are put off by the title, but it's a masterpiece!

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

55. Akira Kurosawa wrote the story

If that's not recommendation enough, what could possibly be?

[DrWeird]

53. Pleasantville.

I don't think many people take it very seriously, but I think it should be.

[yo-yo-ma]

56. The Manchurian Candidate (the original) and Seconds (even better)

both directed by John Frankenheimer
Dark and incredible

[CanuckAmok]

62. Seconds is a great film.

It's so unsettling, that I find it hard to watch in some parts. The part where Rock Hudson gets drunk at the party is the most uncomfortable scene ever shot.

[RetroLounge]

57. A Face In The Crowd

1957 - Andy Griffith

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050371/

This is what we are up against with Hannity, Rush Etc...

RL

[IconoclastIlene]

59. Triumph of the Will...Leni Rheifenstahl

an eye opener....Leni finally died at age 101.

[OrwellwasRight]

65. Classic Propaganda Work - A Primer for Karl Rove

and Leni claimed not to support Nazism. Imagine is she had.

[CanuckAmok]

101. note the cinematography:

thre is not one static shot in the entire movie. every single camera angle is moving, on a dolly or crane.

It's a technique which is still used today to intensify a scene.

[AmandaRuth]

60. 'The Grapes of Wrath'

Don't ask.

Miniluvamericahatebush

[CanuckAmok]

63. the original version of "On the Beach"

One of the best anti-nuke war movies ever made, and it's truly amazing that it was made in the height of the Cold War.

I can't imagine anything as controversial being released to a mass audience in today's corporate/RW environment.

[FreedomFry]

86. "There is still time ... brother." Still chills me to the bone. n/t

[OrwellwasRight]

67. From a former History Teacher

Recommended Films:

A Dry White Season (1989 anti-apartheid movie). I just watched it again a couple of weeks ago. More important than the fact that it still has emotional power was the creepy feeling that its portrayal of police brutality and government detentions of citizens with alleged terrorist ties (w/no formal charges, no access to attorneys, etc.) could be America if Bush wins again.

Tucker: A Man and His Dream (Spielberg, Jeff Bridges): The awesome power of entrenched interests to rid themselves of pesky competition from somebody who has a new and better idea.

American Dream (an early 90s documentary about the union busting efforts of the Hormel Corporation). Shows real working people why they should oppose Republican policies.

Faces of the Enemy (early 90s documentary about propaganda, hate, and the creation of enemies in war time). A must see.

Recommended Books:
Wealth & Democracy --Kevin Phillips
Player Piano -- Kurt Vonnegut

[derbstyron]

68. A Place in the Sun

Based on Theodore Dreiser's book "An American Tragedy"
My favorite book.

It's about our desires and how they can corrupt us. Also, the influence of stingent religion; nature vs nuture; and the question about the realism of the death penalty.

The movie, for obvious reasons, trims a lot of this but is still very effective. Starred Elizabeth Taylor and won scads of Oscars.

[stanwyck]

98. One of my all-time favorite movies

and though it's been an incredibly long time since I read the book....it has really stayed with me. Montgomery Clift was mesmerizing. And that first glimpse of Elizabeth Taylor. Well, you could understand how poor Monty was lost from that moment.

[helnwhls]

69. The Harmonists

German movie about a musical group that was popular pre-WWII. It is a true story. The group was 1/2 Jewish. I was impressed by how it showed people dealing with the rise of fascism . I rented it with no idea how relevant it would be. Characters in the movie use a lot of rationales that I hear today.

[screwfacecapone]

71. X-men and X2!

Both of these movies are about a group of outsiders fighting to protect a world that hates and fears thier kind, and they also fight for peace and harmony between two races. That's pretty much the essence of a liberal right there.

[derbstyron]

72. offbeat suggestion

Defending your life with Albert Brooks.
A movie comedy about focusing on what really matters.

His Lost in America is excellent as well.

[DrZeeLit]

73. Nest egg! (still makes me laugh) n/t

[Rainstorm]

75. A couple not mentioned yet

Guess Who is Coming to Dinner?

Casualties of War.

[Maddy McCall]

76. Gallipoli; All Quiet on the Western Front; Full Metal Jacket

All films that show how young men were brainwashed to enlist and then to be killing machines, as well as the realities of war.

[Maddy McCall]

77. A Face in the Crowd - Kazan flick starring Andy Griffith

From Amazon:

More timely now, perhaps, than when it was first released in 1957, Elia Kazan's overheated political melodrama explores the dangerous manipulative power of pop culture. It exposes the underside of Capra-corn populism, as exemplified in the optimistic fable of grassroots punditry Meet John Doe. In Kazan's account, scripted by Budd Schulberg, the common-man pontificator (Andy Griffith) is no Gary Cooper-style aw-shucks paragon. Promoted to national fame as a folksy TV idol by radio producer Patricia Neal, Griffith's Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes turns out to be a megalomaniacal rat bastard. The film turns apocalyptic as Rhodes exploits his power to sway the masses, helping to elect a reactionary presidential candidate. The parodies of television commercials and opinion polling were cutting edge in their day (Face in the Crowd was the Network of the Eisenhower era), and there are some startling, near-documentary sequences shot on location in Arkansas. An extraordinary supporting cast (led by Walter Matthau and Lee Remick) helps keep the energy level high, even when the satire turns shrill and unpersuasive in the final reel. There's an interesting parallel in Tim Robbins's snide pseudodocumentary Bob Roberts: both these pictures have almost as much contempt for the lemmings in the audience as for the manipulative monsters who herd them over the cliff. --David Chute

[Maddy McCall]

78. Bob Roberts - pseudodocumentary by Tim Robbins

From Amazon: Written and directed by actor Tim Robbins (who also plays the title role), this 1992 mock documentary about an upstart candidate for the U.S. Senate is smart, funny, and scarily prescient in its foreshadowing of the Republican revolution of 1994. Bob Roberts is a folksinger with a difference: He offers tunes that protest welfare chiselers, liberal whining, and the like. As the filmmakers follow his campaign, Robbins gives needle-sharp insight into the way candidates manipulate the media. While the film follows Roberts's campaign, it also covers a fringe journalist (Giancarlo Esposito), who may have dug up the kind of dirt to push Roberts's campaign off the rails. Robbins captures the chilly insincerity of this right-wing populist and fills his cast with terrific supporting players, including Alan Rickman as the campaign's shadowy financier and Susan Sarandon and Peter Gallagher as a pair of airhead TV news anchors. --Marshall Fine

[proud2BlibKansan]

79. Stand and Deliver

the best movie about teaching ever. Another good teacher film is Conrack with Jon Voight. It's a true story - based on a book with (I think) the same name, about a teacher on an island off the coast of South Carolina. He fights the white school board to force them to give his black students the same school experiences the white kids in that district get. Hume Cronyn plays the superintendent. It's a wonderful story.

Also The Front. A Woody Allen film about the blacklisting of entertainers in the early 50s during the McCarthy era. It stars several actors who were blacklisted. Woody is a 'front', a TV writer who submits work actually writen by a blacklisted writer. Zero Mostel is in it too. It's the best movie I have ever seen about the McCarthy era. Check it out. Too many people have never heard of this movie and it is really really good.

[Metatron]

80. Documentaries to include:

The War Room

83. More Docs:

You wouldn't believe the Third World conditions Kopple showcases, from right in the heart of the wealthiest nation in history.

[Chomskyite]

81. My List of movies not yet named here

1. Thirteen Days In this movie the Right-wingers actually look more dangerous and reckless than the Soviets did. And the actors playing JFK and Bobby do a marvelous job.

2. JFK Even though it creates a version of Jim Garrison that never was, and ignores the Carlos Marcello connection, it's very heartening to see Costner take the fight to the CIA and FBI.

3. Office Space This gets to the heart of what's really killing this country from the inside--a beehive mentality we call the corporation.

4. Glory Although it makes the black contribution to the Civil War effort look smaller scale than it actually was, so many racist fallacies go down in flames in this movie. And the acting and writing are stunning.

[FreedomFry]

82. Robert Redford's "The Candidate"

It's about 30 years old now, and still fresh. I understand he's doing a sequel.

90. Harlan County War

Holly Hunter, made by Showtime
Movie about striking coalminers in eastern KY, which really showed the "Company town" mentality that was common in coal mining areas. The coal companies would trap workers by providing them housing and credit at the company store, then pay them so little that they couldn't afford to pay off their bills to the company, thus creating indentured servants.

91. The "Ox Bow Incident" with Henry Fonda, Harry Morgan, Dana

Andrews, Anthony Quinn, and Jane Darwell.Only about 75 minutes long but it says more about vigilante justice and its consequences than any film I've ever seen.

92. Three Days of the Condor....

About a plot within the CIA to disrupt the govt and take power.

[charlyvi]

93. All The President's Men....

Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman. Watergate. Enough said.

[Bryan]

95. In a related vein, "Secret Honor" (1984)

Robert Altman's film of Donald Freed and Arnold M. Stone's one-man stage play about Richard Nixon, ada/pted freely from Woodward and Bernstein's The Final Days.

In it, Nixon (played by the great character actor Philip Baker Hall), wanders drunkenly through the White House the night before his resignation and rants against an invisible audience of his enemies and predecessors.

Far from being an exercise in Schadenfreude, it is a moving portrait of a deeply flawed shitheel, and it mines drama out of what we in hindsight know as fact-that Nixon was less a titan of evil than an ineffective tool of the neoconservatives.

The Criterion Collection rereleased it on DVD just last week:

99. Matewan. Return of the Secaucus 7. Most anything else by Sayles n/t

100. I'm watching Tanner '88

not really a movie. Robert Altman's faux documentary which ran as a series...on HBO? It's wonderful. Lots and lots of cameos. It's fascinating. Very witty.
