I'll start.. If you haven't seen it Dancer in the Dark its fricking visually stunning but I hate the socialist crap it shoves down your throat. I also thought bjork..freak that she is... did an amazing job.

Just watch this clip and you'll be hooked

I've seen it all

Ides of March

I hate that Clooney's character is a bleeding heart liberal.

All The President's Men, though obviously politics were an integral part of Watergate. As such this really doesn't qualify as movie in which politics was unnecessarily introduced into the plot or at least exaggerated beyond what was necessary. Objectively I can't love a movie with a political agenda that is not historical/factual.

I don't get offended by politics or agendas of movies. Because they're just expressions of an opinion. I just take it for what it is.

It would have to really be overt before I noticed it much, and then it would be because its probably not that good of a movie rather than because it was offensive.

Not a movie, but the entire run of Boston Legal.

I'm completely disgusted by Karate Kid

You have to be brain dead to root for Daniel Larusso. He just couldn't leave well enough alone.

If i watch a video of someone poking a bear with a stick then getting mauled, I'm not feeling sorry for the person

I've never watched a movie and actually cared about the politics or agenda.

The Muppets.

First of all, in one of their movies, the main bad guy was named Richman. What... it's wrong to be rich? And furthermore, Kermit and his whole "it's not easy being green" thing. Get out of here with that liberal, tree hugging earth loving crap and quit trying to brainwash my children.

Definitely Bob Roberts. I loved the acting, the faux-documentary approach, the "exposing of the hypocrite" theme, and the warnings of the cult of personality... but yeah, the politics were a bit much!

Also, Jack Black's first film!

I read what the board thought before Elysium, so I tried to go in with an open mind. *sperlers


Overall it was fairly tame: overpop/dystopia/rich gettin richer-but when they injected DHS into it, and a gillion cure-anything medbeds fall out of the sky after Damon f'd up their big space condo I thought it got ham handed.

The Contender is one movie that I love but the politics pushed in it piss me off. Some great acting and a great plot with a completely unnecessary liberal agenda forced in there.

I like the subject of Rendition, but the agenda still kills it for me. I can deal with hinting at a liberal agenda, but when it interferes with the story it's frustrating.

In that movie, they should have painted the sympathetic portrait, then done something at the end to make it unclear as to whether he's really a terrorist. Because that is certainly more accurate.
