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
Casablanca. Not exactly “communist” but I think any movie where the moral of the story is “fascists should be shot on sight” is in the right spirit. Plus it’s just a fantastic movie with something for everyone.
