Favorite anti-establishment films

[Cascadian]

Here's a poll that checks to see which anti-establishment movie you like. The movies that is about certain forms of rebellion. There are so many but I did manage to put down a few titles. You can put down your own titles from the other catalgory and it can be comedy, drama, documentary. Anything goes!

1. NETWORK!

and the film version of Johnny Got His Gun.

[joeybee12]

33. I agree--also MASH and Nashville

[GreenArrow]

2. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

and "Cool Hand Luke"

[Guaranteed]

7. HELL....YES.

One flew east, One flew west,
One flew over the cuckoo's nest....


BIG "Right on," my friend.

[demnan]

3. Blazing Saddles

The all time best!

Black man bashes the head of white foreman and becomes a hero.

[BigMcLargehuge]

4. The Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner

:)

[Pale Blue Dot]

5. You're gonna get me started on John Hughes!

Seriously, am I the only one who hated "Ferris Bueller"? It was a non-comformist movie for conformists. The character of Ferris Bueller is absolutely hateable.

I think John Hughes is the antichrist. He has made his hard-right slant evident in many of his movies, plus at this point he wouldn't know an original idea if it bit him in the ass.

Rant over, please enjoy the rest of your day! :-)

9. A KINDRED SPIRIT!!!!!!!!!

I've railed against his social climbing tripe since they were in the theater!!!!

I hate Ferris Bueller with the intensity of a million angry fire ants!!!!!!!

[Pale Blue Dot]

12. Great!

Now I can PM you whenever I feel the need to rant about him! (My wife and friends are a little sick of hearing about it).:thumbsup:

[htuttle]

6. They Live!

[eauclaireliberal]

8. "Enemy of the State"

with Will Smith, Gene Hackman and John Voight. Scary shit: Bruckheimer must've had the BFEE in mind when he made that film.

I have also began watching "Star Wars" again (ep.4). I wonder who would be Emperor, Vader, etc. when it comes to the BFEE. Hmmm.

[Speck Tater]

18. Second the motion. Too close to true. n/t

[vi5]

10. Cool Hand Luke

Hands down.

[blackcat77]

11. Alice's Restaurant, Kiss of the Spider Woman nt

[ixion]

13. Brazil

really highlights the ugly face of a bureaucracy gone mad.

[Cascadian]

15. Brazil! AWWWW S==t!!!

I should have put that up there! Good one!!!

[catpower2000]

19. FUCKING A RIGHT!! BRAZIL!!

Otherwise, I'd go with Office Space.

[theemu]

21. YEAH! BRAZIL! FUCKIN RIGHT!

MOTHERFUCKER! MOTHERFUCKER! FUCK FUCKITY FUCK!

(sorry, i found the overenthusiastic reactions above a little amusing. i do think brazil is a good, but not great movie.)

[Khephra]

31. I'll add my vote here too

.

[FlashHarry]

35. Brazil. Yep, that's the one!

[proud patriot]

14. I picked Other "Steal This Movie" and "Rude Awakening"

2 great flicks

[proud patriot]

20. Almost forgot "Shawshank Redemtion" n/t

[Tempest]

16. The Hudsucker Proxy & Guilty By Suspicion

Can't wait to see Tim Robbins in "Mystic River".

Darn, forgot the best movie on the Hollywood blacklist.

[Rowdyboy]

17. The King of Hearts

THX 1138
Alice's Restaurant

[noonwitch]

22. Wild at Heart

A David Lynch movie that is comprehendable.

[bmbmd]

23. Don't trust anyone over thirty

How about "Gas.s.s.s."?

[Cocoa]

24. Footloose!

:-)

[BringEmOn]

25. Billy Jack

N/T

[chiburb]

26. Absolutely!

Btw, "Z" wasn't antiestablishment as much as an anti fascist political thriller. It remains my favorite foreign film.

[Cascadian]

42. I thought it was anti-establishment towards fascism.

Which is why I included it. It speaks out against oppression. I could almost mirror it to what is happening here in this country.

27. Matewan by John Sayles

Reds starring Warren Beatty...


Sunshine State by John Sayles


Koyannisqatsi


Grapes of Wrath


Mr Smith Goes to Washington...this movie would not be made today.

[MrBenchley]

28. M*A*S*H

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
I can take or leave it as I please...

[DBoon]

29. Over the Edge

http://efilmcritic.com/review.php?movie=5309

If you ever had to spend your youth in a suburban planned community, you'd love this film

[mitchum]

30. "If" with Malcolm McDowell is the best...

but "Wild IN THe Streets" is good schlocky fun

[FlashHarry]

36. If... was great. Wild in the Streets was terrible!

"Fourteen or Fight!" indeed! Although, to be fair, it did give us a great song in Max Frost & the Troopers' "Shape of Things to Come."

[NightTrain]

32. Romero

Starring the late, great Raul Julia as Archbishop Oscar Romero of Nicaragua. What a powerful biopic!

[IndianaGreen]

34. Stanley Kubrick's "Paths of Glory"

with Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove" as a close second.

[GumboYaYa]

37. "A Clockwork Orange,"

the utimate anti-establishment film. Kubrick asks you to sympathize with a brutal rapist over establishment control. By the end of the film you do just that. IMO it is by far the most daring anti-establishment film ever.

[BlackVelvet]

38. Billy Jack

Has anybody seen this one? Oldie but goodie.

[Room101]

39. They Live....

Here is a short clip from the movie.
