I'm thinking of Idiocracy, Being There with Peter Sellers or perhaps another. Suggestions?

[perfect_rovian_storm]

No fair, I did one of those first:

[Tax-chick]

“Madagascar.”

[Homer_J_Simpson]

I second the motions for "Titanic." When I read the various financial doomsday predictions that seem to be coming true before our eyes I think of the engineer on the Titanic who explained to the captain why it was a "mathematical certainty," I believe he called it, that the ship would sink.

"Dr. Zhivago" also comes to mind. For example, when Zhivago returns home from WWI to find his home has been redistributed so that his family is now restricted to a couple rooms. They even have their own commissar from the DNC. I mean Communist Party.

[Red Steel]

[SECURE AMERICA]

Debbie Does Dallas
Because everyone is getting screwed...

[cripplecreek]

"O" for Oblivion.

[jedi150]

One flew over the Cuckoo’s nest?
The Omega Man?
Clockwork Orange?
The Manchurian Candidate? Nightmare on Elm Street? 1984? Terminator, 1,2 and 3? The Rise and Fall, "well at least the rise" of the Third Reich? Blazing Saddles? So on and So on.

LOTR trilogy -all scenes set in Mordor, and yes, I am serious.

But I don’t foresee a happy ending...:-(

Koyannisqatsi (or however it’s spelled)

Ed Wood

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (0bama as Sean Penn)

[Big_Monkey]

"Blazing Saddles"

Clearly, Obama's not cool enough to be portrayed by Cleavon Little. You must be referring to Mel Brooks' Governor William J. Lepetomane. That fits.

"I didn't get a hahrumph outta that guy."

[svcw]

Being There

Zelig

[Richard Kimball]

Dark Knight:

[KosmicKitty]

[Hegemony Cricket]

The Moneypit

[mountainlion]

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes or Killer Clowns form Outer Space

[RichInOC]

Having Richard Dawson host this clusterBLEEP would be a great improvement.

[combat_boots]

“Dr. Zhivago” has been on TV several times lately, too. Yevgrav was an ‘organizer,’ too. I used to think it was beautiful, but now I think it’s true.

Was thinking more along the line "Gentleman we gotta protect our phoney balognia jobs"

[TrishaSC]

Ahh yes! The haunting Torgo theme. Whenever I see Biden I will think of it.

[Coyote Choir]

Lord of the Rings. Obama as Saruman; Emmanual as Wormtongue.
