Films about revolutions
Anyone able to help build a list of movies about revolutions? I'm particularly interested in 20th century subject matter, although any time period is welcome. Any country, any film style. Thanks!

"Revolutionary Films" is here: http://www.criticker.com/?fl&coll=6084
Since the collection "Revolutionary Films" includes titles such as
Wall Street
Escape from LA
The Thin Red Line
The Crucible
City of God
Wag the Dog
I think it's safe to say the that the term "revolutionary" in this case refers something other than the political or military kind. Perhaps they are films that the mod of that collection considers "revolutionary" in terms of filmmaking...
