Mars Attacks! - Because the Martians blow up Congress.

The Darkest Hour was great. Loved it.
The Incredibles
10-year-old Dash Parr demolishes the prevalent self-esteem culture found in most schools in one of the best exchanges of the film, replying to his mother that saying everyone is special is another way of saying no one is.

When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — “No, YOU move. “
I will check out It Aint Hay.
Phar Lap - with Tom Burlinson of Snowy River - is excellent.
I have been unable to find it as Region 1.
