  2. Anti-Bong Joon-ho trolling will result in an immediate ban from c/movies and submitted to the site administrators for review.

I might have the opportunity to screen 1 or 2 movies at a get together soon. Crowd is generally chill people but not all comrades. past features (chosen by others) have included Shaun of the Dead, Rear Window and They Live, but I'm up for anything, I just want it to not be a complete downer, at least the first one, and ideally have communist themes or undertones.

Inglorious Basterds honestly is on the list as a fallback, always a crowdpleaser, but I'd go for something higher-brow if I could think of anything

Slacker 1990 - It's a day-in-the-life comedy film set in Austin, Texas. Directed by Richard Linklater. "The film follows various eccentric and misfit characters and scenes, never staying with one character or conversation for more than a few minutes before picking up someone else in the scene and following them." "The characters include a talkative taxi passenger, a UFO buff who insists the U.S. has been on the moon since the 1950s, a JFK conspiracy theorist, an elderly anarchist who befriends a man trying to rob his house, a television set collector, and a hipster woman trying to sell a Madonna pap smear."

"Most of the characters grapple with feelings of social exclusion or political marginalization, which are recurring themes in their conversations. They discuss social class, terrorism, joblessness, and government control of the media."
