C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America:
Through the eyes of a British "documentary", this film takes a satirically humorous, and sometimes frightening, look at the history of an America where the South won the Civil War.

I almost gave it to AWS until I noticed he didn't pick the original (w. Clint Eastwood).
Point to Unagi for AL:VH instead

Re: Cineplexity, Game 18
That was a deliberate choice. I didn't think that a movie with Eastwood at the height of his popularity would be "art house," even if it was a flop.

Re: Cineplexity, Game 18
I'll go with the "out in left field" setting, with the over the top ultraviolence and social satire of Paul Verhoeven's Robocop:
Dick Jones: [takes a gun and holds it against the Old Man's head, wrapping his arm around his neck] Get up! Get up! I want a chopper, now! We will walk to the roof very calmly, I will board the chopper with my hostage. Anybody tries to stop me... the old geezer gets it.
The Old Man: Dick, you're fired!
[Directive 4 disappears from RoboCop's status monitor]
RoboCop: Thank you.
[the Old Man jabs Dick Jones from behind with his elbow, and RoboCop starts shooting at Dick Jones, who is no longer an OCP employee; Dick Jones falls through a glass window to the ground below and dies]
