Face in a Crowd sounds like Elmer Gantry, except they used religion instead of entertainment.

I was thinking Meet John Doe because the whole political movement originally was based on a lie.

I like your Face in the Crowd script!!!

I vote for “Idiocracy”

It's on Comedy Central now. Never saw it, but it looks like what is to come.

Elmer Gantry was what the MSM used to ridicule Huckabee during the primaries.

Gantry wasn't an arrogant SOB, just a person who knew the Bible and was good with people, who glommed onto a gravy train until the train ran its course. You could say that Gantry pretended to be a True Believer, but he was a huckster more than someone who looked down on the people who helped elevate him.

It is an obscure Marlon Brando film called “Burn”

Some good suggestions.

But, I'll go for something a tad offbeat:

“Split Second”, 1953. Arrogant psychopathic gangster leads his gang, along with innocent hostages, to what he thinks is a perfect hideout, a desert ghost town. Only to discover the town is actually an atomic bomb test site. He foolishly waits until the last possible moment to flee the area, and then, instead of running away from the test, his stupid arrogance causes him to drive right to the tower that has the bomb...

Godzilla. Obama is the monster and Tokyo is Capitalism.

The original, not the Matthew Broderick remake.

How right on time...on sci-fi right now we’re watching

‘See no evil’

about a psycho in an old run down hotel that likes to collect eyeballs...if the victim happens to be awake and screaming in pain while he digs them out of their skulls...oh well!

The wrestler ‘Kane’ plays a 7 foot ogre with bald head, bad dental work...

a really bad movie, but hey, perfect description nonetheless... a bad horror flick, a nightmare where people have their eyeballs pulled out and (liberals are albeit willfully) blinded by this freakish ogre, it’s a nightmare in more ways than one!
