All art is political.
The only apolitical movie I can think of is plan 9 and that is pushing it
V for vendetta is my go to for a political movie.
Some thought that cartoonish villains taking over western countries while the rest of the world went to shit was far fetched but here we are.
That’s the thing you don’t know if the rest of the world did go to shit. That’s the point of fascist take over and propaganda they put out. “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Political: I, Daniel Blake.
Apolitical: Spirited away
The hunt for red October.
Sneakers.
Not saying ever etc… Just my favorites of the top of my head
I feel like Sneakers was incredibly prescient and incredibly political due to that. The drive to control the flow of information is deeply political at this point.
Absolutely agree, but also points a sharp point at the general evils lurking behind most politics, essentially nailing an anarchic view of “doing what’s right” as opposed to “doing what’s legal”.
Wag the Dog is my personal political favourite – still holds up well after all these years. It came out in 1997, just at the same time the Clinton/Lewinski scandal surfaced.
Dredd is incredible. Super underrated.

All the President’s Men is my favorite political movie.
War is continuation of politics by other means, so we can say Come and see by Elem Klimov (hard to see). There are few apolitical things, and a movie is not one of those.
