(Wiki Article of Movie)

The movie has a slow start, but once it finds its stride, it's a pretty compelling watch. Though be warned, it is a product of its time and has some brow-raising levels of sexism.

It's fairly chilling to watch, as it's astonishingly similar to the environment the US is in today (especially after reading the propublica expose on the mole that infiltrated right-wing militias) and it becomes painfully clear how this old and tired playbook is still being used, almost without changes, to dramatic effect.

As the title says, the movie is based on a true story, in this case, the Black Legion was an actual group; a more extreme and violent offshoot of the KKK, if you can believe it. (The wikipedia article basically spoils the movie, so you may want to read it afterward).

What this movie depicts, of the motivations of the people involved, of the system itself, is something we could really use a modern rendition of.

Possibly one of the worst movies ever: A 20something portrays a plucky tween that dresses like she was thrown into a random assortment of Good Will clothes that nobody would take.

Adventures of an American tank crew in the North African desert in World War II during the Allied retreat after the fall of Tobruk.

I watched this last night and made it all the way through (rare for me, like high/dull praise). The 1943 angle was probably more interesting to me than the plot and dialogue. It had plenty of stereotypes expected from WW2 raging at the time, but no fascist level propaganda IMO. The racial angles were interesting in the attempts to ameliorate and contrast IMO.

Investigating health care in the United States, the film focuses on the country's health insurance and the pharmaceutical industry.

On December 13, 2024, in the aftermath of the Killing of Brian Thompson, which renewed public criticism of the health insurance industry, Moore uploaded the entirety of Sicko to YouTube on his official channel,[13] arguing for health care reform as a "solution that does not involve any violence".
