Battleship Potemkin (1925) by Sergei Eisenstein is not only an interesting look at early Soviet communism propaganda but also a great example of montage film of the silent era.

Hero (2002) by Yimou Zhang is a beautiful film that on the surface appears to be a saga about ancient China with beautifully shot battle scenes and sword fights. It is really the pragmatic Chinese way of celebrating the benefits of the big collective over individual selfish needs. I saw a Chinese film called An Empress and the Warriors the other day. It tried hard to be everything that Hero is but failed in every department.

Der Baader Meinhof Komplex (2008) by Uli Edel is perhaps not entirely balanced in telling the story about post-war German socialism and marxism gone wrong. Still, it's a good insight for those who are interested in trying to understand the reasons behind left wing extremism in Europe.
