postcolonialism on film

films grappling directly with colonialism, neocolonialism, imperialism, etc recommendations welcome -- the first half of the list (up to and including Touki Bouki) i have seen and heartily endorse, the second half i have yet to see but have been recommended note that the places some of these films pertain to (ie Palestine in It Must Be Heaven and other films) are not "post"-colonial, but the word postcolonialism refers to the field of study rather than the literal state of having been decolonized/liberated

movies you can watch instead of top gun

Sometimes, decolonizing is about making space. Sometimes it’s about taking space.

“I wasn’t looking for anything at all when I met you. Actually, I wasn’t planning on falling for anyone so soon. But then I met you. And that was it…I guess things just happened. I found you and I found myself slowly wanting to spend time with you. It was simple. It was easy. And I think that’s how the best relationships begin. You’re not looking for anything and then suddenly you realize; you have something.”
