1. Dawn of the Dead - When the world literally goes to hell, a group of survivors must fight zombies and the other evils of consumerism and society in a desserted shopping mall. Why a shopping mall? The living dead gravitate to the one place that was important in their lives.

2. A Clockwork Orange - Sometimes you have to fight to be yourself. Even if yourself is a murderous hateful punk.

3. Night of the Hunter - The innocent vs. evil in the guise of religion.

4. Paradise Lost - The West Memphis Three, very clearly falsely occused by a hypocritical and sactamonious society.

5. Do The Right Thing - Everybody's fighting against something or someone, but nobodys really right or wrong. But Chuck D says it all.
