Anybody remember a film from the 80's called "Looker"?

I could probably put together a list of all-time conspiracy faves!

Give us your list! It might pick things up around here.

Okay, here goes! (In no particular order)

The Matrix(1999)- One of the most influential movies of the last decade. Keanu's acting wasn't even a factor! Great what-if.

They Live(1988)- John Carpenter's social commentary on the state of mass consumerism and our never ending quest to be entertained (!) rather than educated. Cheesy special effects, sometimes laughable dialogue and bad acting. Somehow, Carpenter still manages to get his point across.

X-Files:Fight the Future(1997)- Duh! The best science fiction is always mixed with a little fact. Never a huge fan of the series, but the film knocks one out of the park!

Capricorn One(1972?)- What if NASA never sent anyone to the Moon? What if they faked a mission to Mars to justify funding? How far would the government go to cover it up?

Conspiracy Theory(1996)- Mel Gibson is paranoid. He rambles on about black helicopters, the New World Order, and secret societies. He's nuts, right? Or is he? Good film, but you should know something about the subject matter.

Other greats:
Enemy of the State(1998)
The Manchurian Candidate(Remake, 2004)
Wag The Dog(199?)
Blue Thunder(1984)

Not all these movies are brilliant. I picked them because the subject matter is fascinating. May even make you do a little fact-finding of your own!

Never really thought about a conspiracy genre of film. Nicely done.

Capricorn One a/k/a OJ on the Run

Yep! Forgot about the O.J. thing. No white bronco here, though! Have a good night.
