Anything motivating or Liberty oriented.
Thanks, cyndezu
Please take the time today to tell at least one friend about Dr. Paul, his message, why you support him, and why our country needs him now more than ever. This is a grassroots campaign. We are the grass and we are the roots. The other candidates may have more money, but Dr. Paul has something that no amount of money can buy: He has us. He has our trust, our belief, our support and our love. Let us not let Dr. Paul, nor our country down.

Serenity!
I thought I was going to be the only one to suggest it. It is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Free and Brave
or Cradle to Grave
You can't have both
Free and Brave
or Cradle to Grave
You can't have both
Every episode of the short
Every episode of the short lived tv show, FIRE FLY is like a liberty bomb, smashing on to the card table, exploding and making everyone jump up, and go "what the heck?!!!!"
They only made 12 episodes. (and the movie "Serenity")
The captain "Mal Reynolds", and his right hand "man" Zoey (a very strong female character)...are ex-military, aka the "browncoats"...who fought the Unification War. The Alliance was attempting to force everyone under one government, including the browncoats, and waged a war to accomplish that end. The series starts off right after The Alliance wins, and they govern all.
Mal and Zoey take to the edges of the star system, where they fly cargo/smuggling runs on their small space ship, "Serenity".
They have additional crew, all individualistic, interesting characters...and they have many adventures, including a few scrapes with The Alliance.
Some might say it was like a western in space. That really never did it any justice. The acting was nearly perfect, the dialog brilliant, the music was awesome...lot's of fiddle, banjo, english horn, guitar with country/irish/indian/asian overtones. Some hilarious moments and some that made you tear up.
All in a universe where you could either be a sheep under The Alliance, or you could call your own shots, with no one guaranteeing you even your life or liberty...your own hands had to provide those things.
Great entertainment. I also second the Errol Flynn pirate movie that someone else mentioned...great flick.
"Being There"
This is a must see in times like these! Peter Seller's last film before he died! Shirley McClain and Melvin Douglas (who won the Oscar for supporting Actor for this film) are awesome too! This movie is so amazingly profound...especially for our times today! Basically, a slow-witted, sheltered, shut-in, played by Sellers, who grows up in Washington DC but has never left his home, is rendered homeless after the death of his father. Due to his father's embarrassment regarding his "slowness" at birth, he has no official birth record and therefore, no "official identity" for that matter. Since no one can prove he is related to the deceased or anyone else (which ironically, ends up to work in his favor), he is thrown out of the house with only his suitcase Prior to that, his only contact with the outside world, for all of his years, has come from the hours he's spent watching the world on television. Hence, his reality, and subsequent naivety of it, is hilariously depicted as he tries to make his way out in the streets. Finally, as "luck" would have it, he is struck by the car of one of the most powerful and influential people in Washington, who, as the plot develops, introduces Seller's character, "Chauncy Gardner" to the President himself! You will have to see it from here so I don't ruin the plot for you! I guarantee that you will love this film! A must see!

Gonna be a Dental Floss Tycoon - yes I am
I'm a sucker for
baseball movies, so I will add
1. "Field of Dreams" -most magical
("If you build it, he will come.")
2. "A League of Their Own" - most heartwarming
("There's no crying in baseball!")
3. "Major League" - most hilarious
("Juuust a bit outside!")
4. "The Natural" - most inspirational
("Pick me out a winner, Bobby")
But there is "Bull Durham", "The Rookie", "8 Men Out", "The Babe Ruth Story", "Pride of the Yankees", "Bang the Drum Slowly", "The Bad News Bears", "The Sandlot", "Mr. 3000", and "Cobb".

I know how you feel --- I
I know how you feel --- I can still remember watching "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (the original, 1950's version) when I was six or seven, and I was FREAKED OUT for days! Couldn't sleep, then when I did I was having nightmares for I don't know how long! I had seen other creepy sci-fi movies at that age, but none of them hit me like that one.
Nightmare creepy? How about
"The Hand" or maybe it was "The Thing" and it was this disembodied hand that crept around like a spider and CHOKED people. My father goosed us during family "scary movie night" with "THE HAND" and we almost jumped out of our skins!
"Jump you f$#@!%s!"
"The Thing" was another
"The Thing" was another creepy 1950's sci-fi movie, remade in the early 80's, but I know the other one you are talking about.
Another excellent one, especially for first-time viewers: the original "Alien" movie, from 1979. I saw it in the theatre with my dad, and we both were literally jumping out of our seats! As was almost everyone else.

OK, here is an obscure one: "Salmonberries", with KD Lang playing a lesbian Eskimo who seduces the town's reluctant Danish librarian. Filmed in Kotzebue, Alaska --- the majority in the house of the mother of a friend of mine. Very surreal.
Did they use your friends bedroom?

Oh Kat, you have such a dirty mind! No. Wait, actually yes! One of the final key scenes was in the bedroom! I forgot about that!
Actually, and ironically, I have never seen the movie in the US --- I watched it twice on Canadian TV while in Michgan (CBC from Windsor, Ontario). Have never been able to find it to rent anywhere here in Alaska ---- appparently it caused a stink here after being released, as the people and natives involved with it up in Kotzebue did not know the theme of the movie while it was being filmed there. Lesbianism is NOT popular nor well-received by traditional Alaskan native cultures.
You see? Huh? And I have a dirty mind...
I was right...How can you have a lesbian eskimo seducing a librarian and no sex?
Dude, it just wouldn't work. Directorially speaking..Did I spell that right?

Lions to Lambs
was quite moving and startling! Those of us who remained in our seats after the movie ended, "got it'. Those who left right away and complained, still have their heads in the sand.
Blazing Saddles and Clerks 2 have nothing to do with Liberty...
...but they really made me laugh all the same.
In terms of serious movies, I think Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" is absolutely riveting. You don't have to like the man or the choices he made to enjoy the film.

Lisa, I have it on CD
and listened to it while traveling (some two hours, each way) for my work. Many times I did not want to get out of the car for the appointment! There are 10 CD's and I've replayed them over and over.
But the post-coital smoking
But the post-coital smoking scenes will be banned as politically incorrect.
Ayn Rand and her "smoking as a symbol of capitalism"! I always was amused by that in the book, and in her little inner circle --- "What?! You don't smoke! You collectivist swine!"
Keeper of the Flame
1942
Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. It doesn't get much better than those two.
The amazing thing (to me anyway) was the "message" this movie was trying to send in 1942.
All patriots would like this "old" movie.
