MestnyiGeroi's "Top Ten Politically Craven Movies"
Sort of a companion piece to this list (http://www.listsofbests.com/list/54368) of politically bold movies, this is a selected assortment of politically craven films. Cowardice here is defined by a level of egregious pandering— pandering to nefarious rulers or regimes, and/or pandering in a cheap and facile way to the worst in society.
Clearly, such a list could number in the thousands if every forgotten piece of slavish, journeyman hackwork made under totalitarian regimes were included, but I’ve kept this to just a short, select list. The first five, however, could top any list of politically craven films, no matter what the scope, whereas the latter five are a little more arbitrary.
Brief explanations for each inclusion offered below.
This is MestnyiGeroi's list. Only MestnyiGeroi can edit it.
