There was once an effort here to list CP relevent prose. How about a list of CP relevent moving pictures (and why relevent)?

Enemy of the State ---for surveillance and conspiracy GATTACA ---for biometrics, identity fraud, surveillance

more?

Why has no one mentioned '1984'? I've only seen the 1956 version with Edmond O'Brien, not the 1984 version with John Hurt.

If we're going to proceed down the 'state as evil' axis, there's a rich vein of content, such as 'Brazil', 'The President's Analyst' (very funny, and highly reccomended), and many others.

I was specifically trying to avoid such mentally-unnourishing but visually tasty scifi candy as "Matrix" etc. Mostly Choate polluted the list, what a surprise. 1984, because of the televisors and surveillance is ok; Brazil (although brilliant) isn't CP though fantastic in many other respects. If I'm wrong, its because it been years, and I welcome correction.
