Revision as of 17:34, 13 August 2005
This page is UNDER CONSTRUCTION
This is a list of movies that have been recommended to me by people who claim to be students of Objectivism. While such a recommendation does not mean you'll like the movie (you might even hate it), its a shortlist from which you might be able to make a shortlist of your own. Personally, I'd like to have a list I can consult for ideas before I head to BlockBuster or navigate to NetFlix .
I'd love to be able to rank these in some way. For starters, all I have to go on is the number of Objectivists who have recommended the movie. Obviously fraught with problems, but it is only a starting point.
Movies which portray Objectivist ethics:
Top Favorites (recommended by more than 5 Objectivists):
Other Favorites (recommended by fewer Objectivists):
Also rans (recommended by a single Objectivist):
/*COME ON PEOPLE!!*/
/*THis is a GOOD MOVIE... better than most on the top rated crap list*/
/*WHY IS THIS NOT ON THE TOP RATED LIST?*/
/* This should be on the top-rated list -- it was recommended by at least five members */
