Hey there. 😁

So, what are some actually decent conspiracy theory movies you've seen?
The zeitgeist stuff, esoteric agendas... you name it.
I’d recommend both, especially considering how low-budget they were. Zeitgeist is essential reading, obviously. ^^

Endgame... heard good things about it. Anyone actually watched?

My bad if this topic already existsβ€”please just point me to the right thread. :P

Thinking about this topic just makes me think of all those movies based on Dan Brown books... basically, they were a complete train wreck for me.

I’m not really one for a Conspiracy Theory, so I honestly can’t wrap my head around how those flicks caused such a massive uproar, especially The Da Vinci Code, since they felt so cheap and totally unbelievable to me... 🀷

Long story short, watching them was pretty much just: boring 🀷

...here's a few... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118883/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0204686/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115571/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361596/ ....personally, I think they're pretty decent flicks... but I don't buy into much of that Conspiracy Theory stuff too heavily... still, worth a watch if you got the time...

"The Panama Tailor" and those endless "presidential lies" honestly feel way more engaging to me than any of those official conspiracy movies you see on TV.

The absolute king of this genre. No competition. Executive Action

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070046/

From the moment it starts, you're hooked. You can see the plot coming, but the tension just doesn't let up. It keeps you on edge the whole way through.

Conspiracy Theory (1997)

The title alone tells you everything you need to know.

It isn't even really about conspiracy theories. It's more about the fact that there aren't anyβ€”there's just you.
The intro regarding the obsession with conspiracies is actually quite sharp:

"Nothing goes through an evolutionary process alone or without direct benefit to the whole. So when you begin to think that there’s this controlling elite, this controlling hand behind the curtains leading the planet to destruction…

When you think the end is near, the apocalypse, Armageddon, and when you think we as a species are doomed, it is not they, it is you that brought this about, and for a very good reason. You are evolving. Stop blaming everybody and everything else. Quit panicking about global tyranny and natural disaster and pay attention, because the world is telling you something; it’s tell you exactly what is wrong with you and how to fix it."πŸ‘
Brilliant.

Arlington Road

Widowed When his FBI agent wife is killed in an FBI anti-terrorist operation goniti wrong, a college professor finds himself spiralingβ€”not just from grief, but from an intense, growing obsession with the underground subcultures and radical cells lurking in the shadows. Then, a new family moves in next doorβ€”super friendly, totally gregarious, the kind of people who actually make you feel welcomeβ€”and they’ve got two kids that his son finally has someone to hang out with. It looks like things might be looking up; he's even starting to see someone new. But then, that nagging feeling kicks in. Something feels off about the neighborsβ€”the way they guard certain rooms, or those blueprints just sitting there too visibly. Is he staring down a cell of domestic terrorists... or is the sheer weight of losing his wife just pushing him straight into full-blown paranoia?

Oh, absolutely. That exact moment when Donald Sutherland pops up and manages to dump a massive pile of potential conspiracies on you in under five minutes is πŸ™
