Veidt Club

Hiya! I'm a cinephile, a theater nut, and all-around goofball. I admire high art, good trash, and the stuff that falls in-between.

48+ movies to get you through the next 4 years

Welp, we still have 47 months to go (if we’re lucky) with Trump in the White House. So what better way to make the time pass quicker than a range of films that reflect, in one way or another, the current, chaotic political state we’re all in?

This list, organized roughly by mood (from inspiring to literal world-ending despair) should make sure you have at least a movie a month that best fits what you’re feeling. Maybe you need to be reminded that change for the better IS possible, or that white supremacists are meltable. Stay strong, and fight on.
