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.

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.

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.
