Recommended movie list
Posted by Hawkeye on Mon, 07/21/2008 - 20:56 inI think you should add Seabiscuit to the list. The story of a horse that wouldn't give up, and its owners and trainers who were guttsy enough to stand up to the rich and powerful is one that resonates for todays citizen.s

Seabiscuit: Great movie. In fact you could tie it in with the whole political "dark horse" concept as well as a classic "the people" vs. "the establishment" which is what the horse stood for at the time. His main opponent had more pedigree and was from a "Rich and powerful" owner. I have a couple of vids on this in fact.

Accepted is kinda a good movie for people in the movement to see.
Its a comedy about a kid that doesn't get into college so he creates his own fake college. The thing actually takes off and hes gotta fight the snooty upscale University in town and the State School Board in order to stay in business.
If you put a noose around the neck of a neo con and put him up on a stool, he'll kick the stool out from under himself because "well for better or for worse I'm already here."
seabiscuit??
Get Zeitgeist.
