Bottle Rocket and
Rushmore
Two films by Wes Anderson from the 90s. I figure most of the Lounge will have already heard of these, but they're really great movies and not well-known at all.
Animal Factory
A movie about life in prison directed by Steve Buscemi, with an all-star cast including Willem Dafoe, Danny Trejo, and Edward Furlong. Highly recommend it, more realistic than many similar movies imo.
SLC Punk
A movie about a group of anarchists growing up in Salt Lake City. I really connected with the characters in this movie and there are some really funny moments in this one. I was a bit disappointed that the movie didn't get more into the political aspects of anarchy, but that's not really what the movie is about.
The Trotsky
A high school kid decides he is the second coming of Leon Trotsky, organizes a hunger strike at his father's factory, then eventually forms a student union at his school. I don't think most people realize how important collective bargaining rights are, there is almost nothing being said or done about them nowadays, but this movie hit a lot of important points about collective organizing and the apathy of the younger generation.
