Communism (Sally Jane Black)
Favs/dislikes: 1:2. List by Sally Jane Black Films that support actual existing socialism, oppose imperialism, raise class consciousness or are emphatically in support of workers, support proletarian revolution, support the right of a people's self-determination, actually anti-fascist, come from a communist nation/group/filmmaker, or otherwise uphold and/or might have some value to Marxism Leninism. check out the original for updates, or search for communism and see my other imported lists to find more stuff -
Anarchist anarchism list
Favs/dislikes: 10:1. Must conquer the bread! No gods, no masters, no cages, no borders. fyi this list is not perfect and is made up of people's opinions so double check things perhaps. -
Anarchist anime: no kami, no kazoku
Favs/dislikes: 0:1. no keigo, no geishas That is, anime that should be of interest to anarchists because of progressive themes. Socialism will do too if it's not too auth (look up chinese Donghua for that? also Girls Und Panzer, First Squad?). One title per series. (everything that gets mentioned online is good enough unless there are serious counterarguments) "If you're just looking for anime that can have an anarchist/socialist interpretation, then there're plenty. But if you want something strictly socialist, something overtly promoting working class consciousness, unequivocally exploring themes directly related to socialist revolution, then there is none other than the Marx bio. Like, Code Geass can be read as anti-imperialist, but it never mentions anything like economic equality or abolition of class. It also never associates the rise of Brittania with capitalism. Nothing in the show suggests the anti-Brittania revolutionaries are gonna install socialism rather than keeping capitalism in place once they take power. A liberal or a nationalist can easily enjoy the show using their own perspective."

Late Stage Capitalism
Favs/dislikes: 1:1. Movies & documentaries about the decline of capitalism, corporate/wall street corruption, economic exploitation, wage slavery, rising inequality, class warfare, workers strikes, the medical industrial complex, the military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex, the school-to-prison pipeline, police brutality, police corruption, the destruction of the environment for profit and/or the inevitable collapse of our modern capitalist society. Scifi movies that feature a capitalist dystopia and other films with anti-capitalist undertones are both allowed and encouraged.

Movies a Vegan Watched and Found Disturbing
Favs/dislikes: 3:1. Not included: environmental and too many vegan documentaries, and they would flood the list FYI art trumps reality for this list, so even though a documentary is ranked #2, reality will always be more disturbing than fiction, although the #1 is also very possible (a minor) SPOILER ALERT, i guess missing Yuuwaku and perhaps some shorts from Otmar Bauer, Otto Muehl, Kurt Kren, Richard Kern (see list Viennese Actionism), 2 Girls 1 Cup, Vomit Girl, Pain Olympics and other scat that I can't even watch top 22 ranked, then alphabetically by sections: too sad animal exploitation industry graphically shocking or scary and the rest Dominion is just a later version of Earthlings, so they're interchangeable really -
Movies for antinatalists
Favs/dislikes: 0:1. Crowdsourced! This is fairly inclusive short of just all existentialist or pessimist or apocalyptic films - there are already lists of those. Any movies, stand-ups, music videos or series that might be of special interest to antinatalists, mostly recommendations from reddit (not all very rigorous but mostly added them all anyway) https://antinatalisminternational.com/reference-guides/anfilm/#1605215074237-5796ecdd-7268 https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/2zanp1/movies_antinatalists_might_like/ and other threads there + https://letterboxd.com/brainless_/list/anti-natalism-cinema/detail/ https://letterboxd.com/spaceageoctave/list/antinatalist-cinema-the-horrors-of-parenthood/detail/ DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE THEME ANY GLANCE HERE OR IF THIS LIST SHOWS UP FOR YOUR MOVIE MAY BE A SPOILER. SORRY ABOUT THAT. Some of those may only have a passing phrase that relates to antinatalism, and the rest of the film might not be about anything pessimistic at all. A lot of those still have a pro-natalist message. I would even hold back Arrival but it's a bit more nuanced apparently. Anyway, big warning for that one, as well as for any family movies here. might remove after watching: Housekeeping, Dalloway also chucked in Lawrence Anton's favorite film, Withnail & I Films mentioned for egregious natalism: A Quiet Place + Part II Birdbox Hunger Games A Boy and His Dog 1975 Greenland https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/muqglg/pregnant_during_an_apocalypse_movie_trope/ Films I removed after watching: Pandora (2016) Mauvaises Herbes Mrs Dalloway see comments for clips not on IMDb: Life Is Random Father John Misty: Pure Comedy (the music video, see docu listed) not released My So-Called Selfish Life not added (yet?) https://letterboxd.com/kalabalik/list/antinatalism/detail/ -

The 10 Best Movies Influenced by Marxist Philosophy
Favs/dislikes: 0:1. Karl Marx was one of the most influential philosopher of all time and consequently his work has influenced a lot of films. The spectator faces Marxist problems such as: proletariat conditions, bourgeoisie dominance, the evolving technology and its connection to society, and revolution. Every problem is only a signal of the advent of the communist era, which consists of final justice on earth. This is the core of an entire movement which deeply influenced the world. Obviously there were other philosophers, many influenced by Marx, who expanded those core elements in many other directions, some of them contemporaneous to him including Engels, Kautsky, Bernstein and others after his death (Rosa Luxemburg, Gyorgy Lukacs, Antonio Gramsci, Ernst Bloch). Every one of them shared a faith in proletariat justice, where object and subject finally identify each other. Lower industrial classes are the “soil” for the revolution and will bring true values for all humanity but doing this demands the fall of the dominant industrialized class: the bourgeoisie. Fraternity is the key word to the basis of a community, and Communism is the ultimate community where humanity frees itself from physical and mental slavery. Marx has never described a “communist” society but he gave some advice in his Critique of the Gotha Program. He said that capitalism is the world where slave-masses serve the few dehumanized bourgeoisies. Once this is known it’s easy to understand that for a film to be Marxist it should reflect reality as closely as possible. It should reflect the horribleness of bourgeois society and the honorable values brought about by the proletarian class. That is a simplified point of view in respect to the Marxist way to see arts (in particular in respect to Lukacs’s literary theories), but it shows the core of this concept. In fact, during the Soviet era, the most common type of film coming from “red” countries,was the documentary. What ‘s better than reality itself to show how society and socialism work? Exemplary examples are the “Kino-pravda” works created by Dziga Vertov. The main ideas expressed Marx evolved through time and in particular during the 67-68’ period which brought a sort of renaissance and reconsideration of the core Marxist ideas, which ends in a post-structuralist philosophical movement. In this final development of “revolutionary” ideas, Marx was an influence along with others, so it can be said that in cinema’s post-68’ period is not a continuation of the Russian montage school. Considering the history of socialism and the history of cinema, there is a wide range of achievement among the movies influenced by Marx and these show many different aspects of Marx ideas, demonstrating the multifaceted dimensions of this movement. On the other hand it is possible to show what Marxism has meant to humanity through the eyes of a number of directors. -

10 Most Complex Sci-fi Movies of All Time (Taste of Cinema)
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. By its very nature, the sci-fi genre is relatively complex: the short stories, novels, TV series and films that comprise speculative fiction necessitate detailed expository passages to build its far-flung futures, reality-bending premises, and stories set in a galaxy far, far away. Whether the story is set on an alien world populated by creatures markedly different from human beings, in a future separated by centuries or eons from the present in which society, technology, science, and civilization itself have evolved into a nearly unrecognizable state, or center around time or space travel, sci-fi stories require complex set-ups to create a believable reality that’s very different from our own. Because of this, the sci-fi genre also allows for its stories to become quite complex. Time travel stories thrive on complexity while, depending on the story, other elements may be willfully obtuse to create an air of mystery or disorientation in the viewer–and some sci-fi stories are much more complex than others. Here are 10 sci-fi films that are purposely complex, either in order to replicate the extraordinary events occurring in the story, to mirror the effect an advanced technology that’s in use as part of the plot, or simply to keep the viewer in the dark about unknowable creatures and the nearly inexplicable that happens during the film. -
