We all know the classics (Dr. Strangelove, Manchurian Candidate, Z, etc) but what about more recent geopolitically themed films? Got any good ones? Please share.

I'll start with an excellent mini-series turned movie about Carlos the Jackal, called (of course) Carlos.

I cento passi (one hundred steps). Set in the '70s, assorted communists battle it out with Sicilian mafiosi.

No subtitles (they will be somewhere on the net), but you get the gist.

Looks good, i'll give it a try :>

But no, i haven't heard of good recent "geopolitical" films.... which is unfortunate

Never seen this. I'm definitely gonna check it out. Thanks for sharing.

Strap yourself in and clear your schedule. It's a five hour movie.

The more common used term is "political thrillers" but that doesn't necessarily mean there's a more geopolitical focus to the film. So, yeah, there's not many. You can share any political movie you want to here, if that makes it easier.

Here goes another one, The Baader Meinhof Complex.

I wish I could come up with one but am drawing blanks. On a much smaller scale though, Gangs of New York. It has many elements of geo politics though. Warring factions, shifting alliances, spineless leaders, haves and have nots. You could aruge that its just politics but in the movie you have nation state's immigrants competing against foreign foes. Its almost geo politics.

Also, kill the messenger I think already came out and its somewhat a geo political thriller. Its about a certain international agency and their part in drug smuggling.
