Movies for the weekend: Scary/Political

 
Brazil(1985)

Synopsis:Bureaucracy and ductwork run amok in the story of a paperwork mixup that leads to the imprisonment of Mr. Buttle, shoe repairman, instead of Harry Tuttle, illegal freelance Heating Engineer. Bureaucrat Sam Lowry (prone to escapes to a fantasy world) gets branded a terrorist and becomes hunted by the state himself in the process of correcting the mistake.
(I highly recommend this for any weekend.)

They Live(1988)

Synopsis:John Nada is a man without job who walks around a big American city trying to find something to do. He finally finds a job as a worker and a place to spend the nights, but one day something terrible happens to him. John discovers a pair of sun-glasses through which he can see the true face of people. Many persons in this city are in fact aliens (from the Andromeda) and most of them are important members of our society. They keep humans in ignorance and they rule our world as they like. Nada must find the rest of the men that know what’s happening (those who made the strange sun-glasses) and join them in the fight against the aliens

Masters of Horror: Homecoming(2005)

Synopsis: While on a TV talk show, a spin doctor for the current administration unexpectedly finds himself wishing that a caller’s son could return from the dead to explain why he died in the ongoing war. Then the recently-killed soldiers do return from the dead–but why?
