How about Triumph of the Will (1934)? Please give us your thoughts on this work.

I would, but I've never gotten around to actually watching it.

Frankly, I'm afraid I might fall asleep during it. Political movies bore me, especially controversial ones. It's not that I don't have strong feelings about certain issues; I just don't think cinema is an effective medium for propaganda (be it Adolf Hitler's, Oliver Stone's, or Michael Moore's).

But one of these days, I'll take my medicine. Maybe I'll even like it. I'll definitely post a review after I track down a free copy.

Not seen it either. Have you? If so, feel free to post your comments. I'd borrow it from the library, but a number of late books and videos makes me wary of showing my face there...
