It would be good (I think) to organize these movies by genre as well.
30 Frames a Second is a good documentary of the Seattle WTO protests from the perspective of an independent photojournalist in the midst of it all.
"[Marx] laid the cornerstones of the science which socialists must advance in all directions, if they do not want to lag behind events."
-Vladimir Lenin, Our Programme
Economic Left/Right: -9.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.54
Ideas for genres or other sorts of categories? I'm not quite sure how to set that up...
Another good one on the Seattle protests is called "This Is What Democracy Looks Like".
"[Marx] laid the cornerstones of the science which socialists must advance in all directions, if they do not want to lag behind events."
-Vladimir Lenin, Our Programme
Economic Left/Right: -9.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.54
Also Battle in Seattle about the same thing i'm guessing
Well for one you can easily sort out the "documentaries" into a separate genre. From there it's a matter of deciding if the other films are action, comedy, drama, historical, etc. What ever criteria you think is appropriate. Might be helpful for those who may want a comedy or documentary and not have to wiki each one to see what it is.
At the moment, to me at least, it just seems like a big list that is hard to shift through. I'd suggest the same routine for the rest of your lists.
I prefer what The Idler recommend, using HUNCH. I'm sure you took a lot of time to create this and I'm grateful for the movie and books thread, but I just look at it and see a big list.
I'm not privy on how to make this "database." Help?
Edit: my post was sort of a joke that no one got.

Easiest way is to join hunch then go to More then Create topic if there isn't already a topic. Then More then Add Result or Add Question.
There are no left wing films made (nor to be made) under capitalism. The closest ones are made in the Soviet Union and just compare those films with films made in capitalist societies to see how their philosophies differ.
Imdb link for every movie would be nice. This is a good list BTW
Bad Boy Bubby (1993)
Rosa Luxemburg (1986)
Society (1989)
What To Do In Case Of Fire? (2001)
"Win, lose or draw...long as you squabble and you get down, that's gangsta."
A few others:
The Forgotten Faces (1961) (Peter Watkins short film about the Hungarian Revolution)
Themroc (1973)
Dead Presidents (1995)
Orwell Rolls In His Grave (2003)

L'Armee du Crime aka Army of Crime. Saw it last year, it's about the French Resistance, or at least a piece of it.
"We are free, truly free, when we don't need to rent our arms to anybody in order to be able to lift a piece of bread to our mouths."
