1. originally posted 3 years ago?

thanks for sharing. better late than never

[winyanstaz]

28. I just found it at a site I trust yesterday....

and a lot of people have not seen these..including myself until now. :)

[Jkid]

2. The rest of the list, I agree but...

Loose Change and America: From Freedom to Fascism?

I don't believe they fit.

[paulsby]

10. i would think the govt. would want us to see loose change

because the more you watch it, the more you are convinced that the truthers are deluded morons.

[timtom]

13. I know -- right?

I mean, what kind of idiot WOULDN'T believe the 19 hijackers story: especially after 5 of them were still alive after 9/11? (And two of them dead BEFORE 9/11!)

This is America, after all. Why would our government lie to us?

[paulsby]

14. that's pretty dismissive of the real point made

loose change is ridiculous. it is so easily debunked, and so many have done it quite well.

i could make a loose change movie about any # of incidents i have investigated, that would sound just as convincing, by slectively leaving certain holes and using basic rhetorical tricks.

its just silly. it's entertaining, but certainly a poor attempt at theorizing

[timtom]

15. OK.

Admittedly, I never watched that particular movie. Consider me backing off a bit.

[paulsby]

16. oh,i STroNGLY recommend it

it's, at a minimum , pretty entertaining.

and after watching loose change, there are any # of good rebuttal videos to watch. it's (imo) actually a very good way of seeing how propaganda, misdirection, selective editing, etc. are used.

[timtom]

17. Lord knows, I've got that

(and half a dozen others that I haven't brought myself to watch more than 5 minutes of.)

[Dr. Strange]

21. Exactly.

I think "Loose Change" is the movie that the Truth movement doesn't want you to see.

[SIMPLYB1980]

26. And V for Vendetta?

That movie was OK but shit compared to the comic. Plus didn't like everyone watch that movie within a year of it's release?

[ZombieHorde]

3. I would like to add...

Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media

[Sebastian Doyle]

4. The Power of Nightmares should be on that list

Especially in light of the President's repetition of the Al Qaeda myth last night, it would be a really good time to watch this movie, if you have never seen it.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

5. I NOTICED THAT TOO, SCARY

[truedelphi]

8. I just saw that about three weeks back.

Very very scary stuff, but it sure does inform us of what may be going on.

[JDPriestly]

6. Not sure it should be on that list, but The Century of Self is a must-watch

and is available on the internet.

[truedelphi]

9. What's it about

(In 300 words or less)

[punkin87]

11. Edward Bernays and propaganda

[truedelphi]

27. Thanks. I have read a lil bit about Bernays and will check it olut. n/t

[JDPriestly]

18. It is about how Freud's nephew began the whole advertising

to appeal to our subconscious and our self-absorbed needs thing.

[librechik]

22. absolutely--Adam Curtis has the goods on the PTB

what a trilogy--for the ages--Power of Nightmares, and Century of the Self, The Trap

MUST WATCH!

[Blue_Tires]

24. i'll try and find those three...sound interesting...

[reggie the dog]

7. I would nominate

It's a Wonderful Life. Such a good call for REGULATION of business because Mr. Potter was such an asshole.... Funny, when I was a kid that film was shown hundreds of time each holiday season, now that someone bought the rights it is shown once on non pay tv....hmmm?????

[Lochloosa]

12. Soylent Green n/t

[closeupready]

19. K&R for later

n/t

[Lydia Leftcoast]

20. "Excecutive Action" and "The Reflecting Pool"

Both are fictional films that ask "What if?"

Executive Action is about some rich far-right types plotting the JFK assassination.

The Reflecting Pool is about a Russian emigre reporter who investigates 9/11 at the request of a man whose daughter died that day.

[Toucano]

23. I've seen 7 of the 10.

Wonder what that says about me?

I choose, "Well informed" over "Conspiratorial Nutjob".

[Echo In Light]

25. At work & can't access that video link - but, COVER UP: Iran Contra Affair needs to be included

... if it's not already there

[winyanstaz]

29. thank you...

I agree...there are more films that need to be on this list.
