I'm thinking of Idiocracy, Being There with Peter Sellers or perhaps another. Suggestions?

titanic

[mylife]

“being there”
and
“brazil”

[Panzerlied]

The Thing From Another Planet

I was watching ‘The Running Man’ a couple of weeks ago. It was surprisingly prescient.

[Big_Monkey]

Titanic

[NewJerseyJoe]

Parts of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and The Distinguished Gentleman (specifically, the idiotic speech that Eddie Murphy makes, yet is applauded by all the morons).

[HoosierHawk]

Trading Places

You know, where a no-nothing ghetto type takes the place of a talented managing director.

[cripplecreek]

Telepromptertubbies.

[Mojave]

Manos: The Hands of Fate

[thefactor]

Beerfest. Whenever I see him, I need a drink.

Oops, Titanic taken...Let’s go with Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

[50mm]

[sheikdetailfeather]

“Fall of the Roman Empire” (Obama is Nero...)

[Diogenesis]

[Malsua]

New Jack City

[mnehring]

Baseketball, Idiocracy, Cabin Boy

[outofstyle]

“The Last King of Scotland”

[Brett66]

Yeah, that’s the worst of all time and fitting.

[pnut22]

The Wizard of Oz

[webschooner]

1984

Children of Men

[Cyber Ninja]

Brazil

[mnehring]

The problem with that is the Eddie Murphey character did a better job than Dan Aykroyd’s character.

[freeplancer]

National Lampoons Vacation.

[mnehring]

[proudtobeanamerican1]

The Omen

[Kansas58]

Conan the Barbarian

(Obama is Thulsa Doom)

[50mm]

Nice! Very nice! ROFLMAO!

[SkyDancer]

Any Three Stooges movie ....

[Big_Monkey]

"“Fall of the Roman Empire” (Obama is Nero...

Woody Allen's "Bananas"....Obama is Gen. Emilio M. Vargas. It's scary accurate.

[HoosierHawk]

Calling pork bellies at Christmas was the only decision made. I think most of us could have made that call.

[Huck]

Blazing Saddles.

[mnehring]

..and my favorite..

[Red Steel]

[HangnJudge]

[BenLurkin]

Good one!

[Red Steel]

[HoosierHawk]

When that movie was first released, one of the reviews proclaimed, “Finally, a movie that lives up to its name!”

[perfect_rovian_storm]

No fair, I did one of those first:

[Tax-chick]

“Madagascar.”

[Homer_J_Simpson]

I second the motions for "Titanic." When I read the various financial doomsday predictions that seem to be coming true before our eyes I think of the engineer on the Titanic who explained to the captain why it was a "mathematical certainty," I believe he called it, that the ship would sink.

"Dr. Zhivago" also comes to mind. For example, when Zhivago returns home from WWI to find his home has been redistributed so that his family is now restricted to a couple rooms. They even have their own commissar from the DNC. I mean Communist Party.

[cripplecreek]

"O" for Oblivion.

[jedi150]

One flew over the Cuckoo’s nest?
The Omega Man?
Clockwork Orange?
The Manchurian Candidate? Nightmare on Elm Street? 1984? Terminator, 1,2 and 3? The Rise and Fall, "well at least the rise" of the Third Reich? Blazing Saddles? So on and So on.

[kaylar]

LOTR trilogy -all scenes set in Mordor, and yes, I am serious.

But I don’t foresee a happy ending...:-(

[combat_boots]

Koyannisqatsi (or however it’s spelled)

Ed Wood

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (0bama as Sean Penn)

[Big_Monkey]

"Blazing Saddles"

Clearly, Obama's not cool enough to be portrayed by Cleavon Little. You must be referring to Mel Brooks' Governor William J. Lepetomane. That fits.

"I didn't get a hahrumph outta that guy."
