The Shawshank Redemption. The prison inmates are universally noble and good, the prison administration is universally corrupt and evil. Plus numerous gratuitous shots at Christianity.

I thought of this when someone mentioned The Color Purple. I loved both of these movies as movies--while at the same time realizing what anti-American propaganda they were. The point is that cinema is a liar's art, and--here I am also reminded of Triumph of the Will and Battleship Potemkin--great films can be made in the service of evil.

I know you're right, but when that show is on TNT I can't turn it off. I love that frickin movie. I've seen it over 20 times easy.
