Two from the 1960s by Gillo Pontecorvo might be a good place to start:
THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS (1965): Algerian revolt against French colonialists
1954-62.
BURN! (1969): Maltin description: "Egomaniacal Sir William Walker (played
by Marlon Brando) is sent by the British to instigate a slave revolt
on a Portuguese-controlled sugar-producing Caribbean island."

What the great philosophers have said vis-a-vis love (as
interpreted by Matt Groening):
Love is a perky elf dancing a merry little jig and
then suddenly he turns on you with a miniature
machine gun.
--Kierkegaard
