I was wondering if list members have any suggestions of films that directly or indirectly critique capitalism. I know this is a broad categorization, ranging from Chaplin to Godard, Bunuel to _American Beauty_, but I am not looking for some exhaustive, comprehensive list, instead I am looking for films that list members think are particularly striking or useful examples of this. Further I am also interested in any literature (in the film studies arena) on the following: Marxist studies or analyses of cinema or particular films, any work that has used Jameson, any texts or essays that have dealt with the political in general, and any studies on the didactic. Thank you so much. Best, Reagan ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
