You're welcome! It's in black and white, the actors speak Italian, and there are subtitles, but it is incredible! Top notch acting. Kira is definitely a Rand heroine in this movie!

Kitty hawk, thank you for your post. I had no idea that "We the Living" had been made into a movie. I will definitely check it out!

I'd call that one amoral, not libertarian, since they do rob a bank. But it is one of my top ten great movies.

Schulman's "The Rainbow Cadenza" has got to be the #1 libertarian book that ought to be filmed but hasn't been yet.

The Man From Earth...

I love how he explains his version of the origin of Jesus.

V-The Original Miniseries, Ryan's Daughter

I wanted to add a movie to this list.

What About Bob

You have the lead character has a beautiful life, family, wealth.

What happens when he starts to "care" and put someone else first.

What happens when this "needy" person, keeps demanding more and more of your resources.

I love this movie, and at the beginning Hate the main character, but by the end, feel so bad for him, all because he starts to change from the "Selfish" to the Altruistic.

Then the ONLY solution is "Death Therapy."

V for Vendetta.

While Alan Moore has V declare himself a philosophical anarchist in the graphic novel, this is not present in the movie, nor particularly relevant. The movie is good for showing how bad an authoritarian government can be, and how important an anti-authoritarian spirit can be in the face of authoritarianism.

Any dystopian movie would work, as long as it isn't too anti-market.

I would like to add a few more modern titles for consideration. I thought The Imitation Game was a terrific illustration of the individual overcoming great odds. The Bond flick Skyfall. My wife asked that I throw a couple "chick flicks" in. (her phrase) Testament of Youth and Far From the Madding Crowd are both stories of women who refused to go along to get along.

Serenity ended the series well. It left things open for a sequel.

Not all for me. I once caught the tail end of a spaghetti stinker on TV in which all the guns were dubbed Bwee! Bwee! Bwee! while thickly packed idiots on horses rode around buildings in a cowboy town not even shooting back were being massacred by good guys on rooftops.
It also lacked an Ennio Mirrocone soundtrack that made Spaghetti Westerns twice as good.

Shenandoah, Fahrenheit 451, Paint Your Wagon, Office Space, Animal Farm, Divergent, The Mouse That Roared, Farewell to the King, The Man Who Would Be King........ am I showing my age?

Agreed, but I like all the spaghetti Westerns.

It's called Sophie Scholl: The Final Days. Sorry for the wrong title. It's the story of the White Rose student nazi resistance group and its fate.

Don't forget Legends of the Fall!

I've long contended that the story and the music of "For A Few Dollars More" makes the best of the three "Dollar" flicks.
The soundtrack is great for "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" but its Civil War history is atrocious along with feeding full metal jacket ammo into cap and ball revolvers.

apologies. when you next come to GJ for a tennis tournament come to the factory for a tour.

Oh yes. The miracle worker. Talk about A is A

Wins for third best monologue :)

? Never heard of it ja. Googling....

Thanks wiggys. Oh and I'm a girl :)

Good point kitty. It is well done

I'm surprised We the Living didn't get mentioned yet. Great movie, so engrossing I forgot I was reading subtitles. I haven't seen it yet, but it seems Alongside Night would qualify, too, based on the book. Also most films by Hayao Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli) are heavily pro-individual and anti-government, see http://original.antiwar.com/Dan_Sanch...

We LOVE the "Man with No Name" movies.
Sometimes unpredictable consequences to bad behavior BUT Clint plays such a remarkable individualist who hones his skills in all 4 branches of philosophy to become the best at what he does.
