Most believable conspiracy themed films?

What are some of the most believable, realistic, or faithful to the source conspiracy theory films?

A couple of my favorites are Coma based on the novel by Robin Cook, although the movie differs significantly, and The Mothman Prophecies, which I've yet to read.

They Live is a great satirical view of capitalism and American culture. You could almost believe that it's possible, despite the outlandish tone.

It's called Capricorn one.
It's a bit dated but was made when the first moon landing hoax stuff came about.
Anyhow If you have not seen it..go find it .

Eyes Wide Shut

'Twilights Last Gleaming' with Charlton Heston.

One of the first I recall, and one of the best.

The theme was the war in SE Asia was to demonstrate US willingness to kill and incur losses on a massive scale with no intention of actually achieving victory.

Charlton Heston wasn't in that movie. It was Burt Lancaster. Decent flick nonetheless.

Of course! Thanks for the correction.

Hard to believe it's been almost 40 years since it was released.

Brazil, V for Vendetta, Children of Men,Idiocracy...

Elements of all of them exist today. Also agree with 1984, listed above.

As for the future....

The Road...never read the book...

Seeing as "most believable" is subjective...

Running Man - Coming soon
Total Recall - Already happening
The 6th Day - Already happening
Predator - Already happening
End Of Days - Coming soon


Arnie is well in the know...

Gashole, one of the best documentaries ever, about the very real conspiracy behind big oil & the deliberate prevention of technological advances.

Thanks for the bump, I just watched it...Great flick

In your first post I thought you were talking about the controversial film Alternative 3, which supposedly showed actual footage from Mars..

Predator - Already happening

Thanks, man. I was already slightly paranoid hearing sounds in the trees while I read this thread.

V For Vendetta , a vision of our future should we let t happen.
