    I'd appreciate it if a comrade helped me provide descriptions, and maybe categorized some of these movies together as opposed to just keeping them in alphabetical order. I should also note that some of the recommended films might not be leftist, like A Clockwork Orange and There Will Be Blood (I have yet to see either).

    Cool list. This is the kind of thing that has inspired my site http://leftfilmreview.net

    If anyone is interested in reviewing these films with a brief summary (like on the site) just PM me please. I'm looking for more contributors and this list would be a good start of films to review
