Help! Movies!

Okay, so, if you haven't figured it out already, I'm a big dork...

I have a friend coming to the states in just a couple of months, and I'm trying to put together some movies to watch. He's got some that I haven't seen or heard of before, and I was hoping the same for myself. Unfortunately, I'm finding this not to be the case. Any suggestions? I prefer political or controversial movies.

See, he's studying in London, but he's French, and seems to believe that when it's done in French, it's better. This is even his argument for television show theme songs. For example, Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers. Do you know what the French call it? Tic et Tac: Ranger du Risque. It's horrible. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song is the worst in French. I almost cried.

Since I'm on a topic I don't generally discuss on this blog (old-fashioned entertainment), have you all heard of the show "The Electric Company?"



They're trying to bring it back. And yes, that is Morgan Freeman.
