2. The Matrix, just the original
Yes, it was stupid, but the paradigm of breaking out of a constructed reality into the real thing was a good metaphor for shaking off Astroturfed populism in favor of the real thing.

4. No. please, No Mel Gibson flicks
Braveheart was crap, with a whole lot of gouged eyeballs, and pikes through faces.
Hateful Homophobic crap.

Do you remember the scene where the prince's effeminate "friend" got thrown to his death over a balcony, for comic relief??
The whole theater laughed.
I did not. I guess I have no sense of humor.
Inoccent youths falling to their death because they are limp-wristed, and lisp, just does'nt strike my funny bone.

8. viva Zapata
Emiliano Zapata is a legend in Mexico. Brando was oscar nominated but Gary Cooper won it with High Noon.
