20 Great Anarchist Movies That Are Worth Your Time (Taste of Cinema)
"There are hundreds, if not thousands, of films that address the themes of anarchism—some favorably (like most the films listed here) and some unfavorably. There are, as well, dozens of respected lists of 'anarchist films.' While almost every recent list of films and anarch thought lists 'V for Vendetta,' one version or another of the story of 'Sacco and Vanzetti,' and (disappointingly) either 'The Matrix' or 'Avatar,' this list eschews such titles. Rather, these are twenty films that in their anarchic form and/or content engage in 'the conscious creation of situations,' to appropriate Guy Debord. The films raise more questions than they answer regarding leadership and decision making, hierarchies and egalitarianism, autonomy and heteronomy, equity and coercion, genre and storytelling, and intersections among race, class, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. Such complexity, provocation, and affect make these films especially noteworthy." - tasteofcinema.com
