The point of this is to collect must see quality movies, tv shows, & series that pertain to our movement of peace, freedom, liberty & prosperity including government inefficiency & immorality. Films that encourage individualism over tyranny, self-responsibility over paternalism, and that offer a hearty dose of against-the-grain individualism etc. Movies that enlighten about the current state of affairs, as well as heed warning & inform should be added here.
Please provide a synopsis, link to imdb, trailer and any liberty reviews. The message should be explicit and clear. Make a case for it's inclusion, otherwise it won't be. Make me want to watch it. If something doesn't belong, speak up! If you agree with something, recommend it. All of these have been suggested by folks at Mises.org, Lew Rockwell and Ron Paul forums. I will link to the reviews where possible. Many have several elements within them and I tried to add them to the most predominant category.
