Mistaken for someone important, a man is kidnapped and held hostage.
Revolutionary Marxists fuck everything up again. Overall an okay movie. If you're into the theme, and like dirt and poverty, then this is for you.
FIXME - If re-watched, ensure subtitles work.

(trailer)
The story of [ 1 ] the seven samurai [ 2 ] the 47 ronin the 21 Sihks defending a fort.
It's not too over-the-top Bollywood, so it's a perfectly watchable "yay us" hero story.
Based on actual events.

Tells the story surrounding the mythology and history of Redbad, King of the Frisians.
It tries, but it's just not very good. It's full of heavy-handed moralizing.

A military man of small renown and great skill is swept up into a conflict that engulfs his nation in war, driving a wedge between himself, his people and his love.
A movie the likes of which I've never seen and doubt I ever will again.
Based on The Deluge - (1886 book), by Henryk Sienkiewicz

A traumatized girl turns to hording in a secret hideout, but when she eats spoiled food she lapses into a hallucinatory coma.
Within this popcorn movie is a very adult theme.

In Venezuela, when a democratically-elected socialist starts ruining the fourth largest oil industry in the world, using socialism, effort is made to initiate a regime change.
It begins as a pro-communist propaganda piece on how socialism didn't do nothin' wrong and real communism has never been tried. It gets good later on, as there are legitimate concerns actually being shown.
Feel free to look at this and compare it to current (2017-2018) reactions to United States president Donald Trump, because it will make your head explode.
You can thank events featured around this time, and the fucktardedness that followed, for plunging 90% of the population into poverty.. and I'm not exaggerating. This is the wealth-generation of socialism.

In a futuristic Germany, a mute guy has relationship troubles.
An interesting world, but generally terrible writing.
Intended as a spiritual successor to Moon - (2009 movie), though I don't see how.

A girl is digitized, becoming a valuable commodity for people seeking power and immortality.
This might be interesting for fans of science fiction history, but it's dumb in too many places for me to enjoy it.
If you end up watching this, here are my edited Andromedia subtitles.

Inspired by the French Revolution, a rebellion is launched against Spaniards in South America.
This movie leverages the "yeah freedom!" but spins the old yarn that all of the rich are bad and oppressors and the poor are good and oppressed. Entertaining, though propagandistic. It is particularly interesting to think of the underlying themes of the events portrayed in this movie, and how Communism has plunged Venezuela (TODO - confirm) into a Communist dark age.
Although this is in Spanish, a tiny amount is English, and a tinier amount is in French.
