This is partially inspired by @UsedJavelin's thread about Seven Samurai.

I watched a lot of the Western "film canon" when I was younger, and lately I've just been craving some good "artistic" movie content. But I don't trust the :reddit-logo: crowd nor the letterboxd nerds for serious recommendations, so I turn the question to my comrades

    But I don’t trust the letterboxd nerds

    :theory-gary: very wise indeed. here goes the certified communistic classics list

    spoiler

    Its a Wonderful Life (CW Christmas) but its anti money-grubbing and charming

    Thelma and Louise FUCK COPS

    Bonnie and Clyde FUCK COPS

    The Red Shoes ballet is pretty RED = COMMUNISM :stalin-shining:

    Cool Hand Luke FUCK PRISON

    Dr Strangelove :strangelove:

    Rear Window is good

    Do the Right Thing :anti-italian-action:

    im taking 'universally loved classic' seriously here dont make me look like a fool

      The olllld Keystone Kops comedies are some great "Fuck cops" movies. It's wild to see police portrayed as complete buffoons with no respect at all.

        The fact that Come and See is like the highest ranked movie on Letterboxd automatically makes it better than the bazinga-fest that is imdb
