I'll have to queue it on Netflix. @ craysh - It's always obnoxious to see people who jump to conclusions without thinking. The article is about movies that effected change. Al Gore's movie did that by opening up the conversation about global warming. The Thin Blue Line is a movie I have been meaning to see. I’ll have to queue it on Netflix.

Replace it with Schindler's List, which educated a whole new generation or two about genocide - not just during WWII but also in more recent times.

What an eye-opener, the discovery that young people in Europe shared in our movement. I've always wondered whether the film would have so rankled the establishment if it had kept the nudity and lost the pacifism. “I Am Curious” does seem nearly tame today for its sex and nudity, but its depiction of the European rage against the Vietnam War is still powerful for those of us who remember 1967.
