Libertarian/Objectivist Movies

I agree. Very good movie.

Dear old Ninotchka keeps coming up in conversations like this one, though Rand expresses reservations in the Mayhew Q&A book.

The Aviator is the only movie I've seen that understands the difference between productive and politically-connected businessmen. I'm not the first to point out the similarity between the sequence in which an airplane flight leads Hughes and Hepburn into bed and the JG Line sequence in Atlas Shrugged.

I have to agree with Ross on Equilibrium. Great movie for such a low budget. I missed the Atlas reference, and will have to rewatch to catch it!

Since we are on foreign films, how about 'Burnt by the Sun' a Russian movie about a general who was killed by the monster he believed in. It was a 1994 movie.

Iron Man 2 expressed that difference...
