Sunday Night at the Movies: Battleship Potemkin (1926)

 Sorry this is belated:

From Wikipedia:

Battleship Potemkin (RussianБронено́сец «Потёмкин»Bronenosets Potyomkin), sometimes rendered as Battleship Potyomkin, is a 1925 Soviet silent film directed by Sergei Eisenstein and produced by Mosfilm. It presents a dramatized version of the mutiny that occurred in 1905 when the crew of the Russian battleship Potemkin rebelled against its officers.

Battleship Potemkin was named the greatest film of all time at the Brussels World's Fair in 1958.[1][2][3] In 2012, the British Film Institute named it the eleventh-greatest film of all time.[4]



This is a pretty good film for a Soviet silent film. It's about not being treated fairly, rebellion, mutiny, and so forth. Maybe that's some of what we need now? This film was the longest banned film in the UK. Joseph Goebbels  liked the film in terms of its propaganda  and emotional value.
