Ernest and Donna Hancock share their list of movies they feel has helped people to understand, explain, and learn about freedom and liberty, while also predicting what the future holds in store for us based on the knowledge of how the 'bad guys' think. This is by no means a complete list, but are the ones that come to mind first that have inspired us in some way; I am certain you have your own list as well. "There are two kinds of people in the world - those that just want to be left alone, and those that just won't leave you alone. It's no more complicated than that.
