I'm not sure on this. A post below mentioned Antonioni's "Zabriskie Point" as anti-establishment. Is it? I have not seen it.More than that, could there be a genre of anti-establishment films? And how would you define it?
First off, I think of "Dr. Strangelove", "Catch 22"and "All Quiet on the Western Front" as anti-establishment. Also there are films like "3 Days of the Condor", "JFK", "Platoon", "The Parallax View", and even older stuff like the original "Of Mice and Men". Oh yes, "Medium Cool" is another from the sixties.
Would it be a stretch to include the first "Star Wars"? Seems like a good many movies over time have been anti-establishment. Is this almost a cliche and not fruitful?
Anyway, I'd appreciate seeing a mention of anyone's favorite anti-establishment movie, however you define it.
