Can Dialectics Break Bricks is my fav.

Yann Le Masson's vérité documentaries, especially Kashima Paradise.

Funny thing about this movie, user

… is that it proved to be a documentary

I have to say Verhoeven's Capitalism Trilogy, which is like Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy, but with Capitalism instead.

Marat/Sade (1967)

In the Charenton Asylum in 1808, the Marquis de Sade stages a play about the murder of Jean-Paul Marat by Charlotte Corday, using his fellow inmates as actors. The director of the hospital, Monsieur Coulmier, supervises the performance, accompanied by his wife and daughter. Coulmier, who supports Napoleon's government, believes that the play will support his own bourgeois ideas, and denounce those of the French Revolution that Marat helped lead. His patients, however, have other ideas, and they make a habit of speaking lines he had attempted to suppress, or deviating entirely into personal opinion. The Marquis himself, meanwhile, subtly manipulates both the players and the audience to create an atmosphere of chaos and nihilism that ultimately brings on an orgy of destruction.

The hunger games trilogy was really deep

Snowpiercer (2013)

In 2014, an attempt to counteract global warming through climate engineering backfires catastrophically, unintentionally causing an ice age that extinguishes all life except the inhabitants of the Snowpiercer, a massive train powered by a perpetual motion engine that travels a circumnavigational track, created by the transportation magnate Wilford. By 2031, elites inhabit the extravagant front cars and the "scum" inhabit the tail in squalid and brutal conditions. Under watch by Wilford's guards, they are brought only gelatinous protein bars to eat and kept in their place in the social order by Minister Mason, while sometimes small children are taken away.

Spotted the edgy liberal…

Red Ant Dream (2013)

This documentary deals with the issue of "Maoist insurgency in India". It focuses on the Maoists in Bastar in Chhattisgarh, tribals fighting against industrialists in Niyamgiri in Odisha, and protestors acting in memory of the Leftist revolutionary Bhagat Singh in Punjab. This film shows the people of these regions resisting what they believe to be oppression. Red Ant Dream was financed by funds given by an International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam Fund grant and a prize from the Busan International Film Festival.

Verhoeven is a goddamn genius.

Z (1969)

Z is a 1969 Algerian-French political thriller film directed by Costa-Gavras, with a screenplay by Gavras and Jorge Semprún, based on the 1966 novel of the same name by Vassilis Vassilikos. The film presents a thinly fictionalized account of the events surrounding the assassination of democratic Greek politician Grigoris Lambrakis in 1963. With its satirical view of Greek politics, its dark sense of humor, and its downbeat ending, the film captures the outrage about the military dictatorship that ruled Greece at the time of its making.

The Devil, Probably (1977)

Increasingly frustrated by life and the world around him, Charles finds no respite in the work of his environmental activist friend, Michel, shown through mini-documentaries. He sleeps with Michel's girlfriend, Alberte, finding a similar void. Religion and psychoanalysis fail to repair Charles' nihilist outlook, and he hires a gunman to end his life.

Damn good film

The Firemen’s Ball (1967)

In Milos Forman's satire on Communism set in a small Czechoslovakian town in the 1960s, the local firemen decide to organize a ball, however the proceedings are dogged by difficulty at every step. They plan to organize a beauty pageant at the ball, yet struggle tremendously to find enough pretty contestants. A lottery is planned for later in the evening, but the guests begin stealing the prizes. Then, inevitably, there is a fire in the town… It seems that whatever can go wrong, does go wrong.

Concerning Violence

and I highly recommend the book it's based on, "Wretched of the Earth"

The Battle of Algiers (1966)

One of the most influential political films in history, The Battle of Algiers, by Gillo Pontecorvo, vividly re-creates a key year in the tumultuous Algerian struggle for independence from the occupying French in the 1950s. As violence escalates on both sides, children shoot soldiers at point-blank range, women plant bombs in cafés, and French soldiers resort to torture to break the will of the insurgents. Shot on the streets of Algiers in documentary style, the film is a case study in modern warfare, with its terrorist attacks and the brutal techniques used to combat them. Pontecorvo’s tour de force has astonishing relevance today.

The Confession (1970)

Based on a harrowing true story from the era of Soviet bloc show trials, the film stars Yves Montand as a Czechoslovak Communist Party official who, in the early fifties, is abducted, imprisoned, and interrogated over a frighteningly long period, and left in the dark about his captors’ motives. Also starring Simone Signoret and Gabriele Ferzetti, the film is an unflinching, intimate depiction of one of the twentieth century’s darkest chapters, told from one bewildered man’s point of view.

WHY DO PEOPLE PUT A QUESTION MARK AFTER USING SPACE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Oh, i forgot about

Mission to Moscow
(based on the book by Joseph E. Davies, US ambassador to Moscow)

they live of course

if this does not result in a permaban then leftypol hostile takeover confirmed.

idiocracy isn't even leftist, le "we need intellectual breeding programs to outdo the niggers" is actually a rightwing spook.
it's still a great movie though.

it clearly is bashing "proles" indiscriminately. everything about it stinks of elitist liberalism.

La Haine is the most relevant film today, if you absolutely hate idpol it might not be for you but it contains a ridiculous amount of truth

i'm not sure if you are shitposting or german but "liberalism" does not mean "FDP neolib free-market ancap policies".
liberalism in english is more like pirate party or neue liberale.

what you mean is libertarianism.
and yes, that's what the film reeks of. it is still good and mike judge rules.

Yes it does, it's just you Americans that have a weird political spectrum

Idiocracy is a libertarian epoch though, riddled with idealistic interpretations of democracy.

This was my first reading before finding out that the creators are actual self-described libertarians/"classical liberals" who are innately anti-social.

Of course, democracy should be critiqued, especially in bourgeois form, but a shit critique is a shit critique. This is a good critique of democracy: www.lacan.com/jambadiou.htm, while Idiocracy is a shit critique although I actually enjoyed it quite a bit as just a comedy.

can we agree to call it neoliberalism then?

because if you call mike judge a liberal he'll punch you in the face, lel

they're probably french

Why are you so autistic ? Why do you write questions without question marks ? Why does it even bother you ?

there is a special phrase for putting a space before the punctuation that i can't remember right now, and it is a strong indication that the guy who does it is fucking retarded.

"plenken"

"to plenk, he is plenking, he plenked, you're a plenker"
usenet intro class dismissed.

Definitely Bullworth. This movie is not only hilarious but has lots of thinly veiled critiques of capitalism that he spouts. Don Cheadle has awesome parts in this, too.
