Makow's "Ten Superb Movies that Bombed"
(left, Michael Collins, a movie about a man who fought the Illuminati and won.)
by Henry Makow Ph.D.
Movies used to be based on novels. Now they’re based on comic books. Nothing better illustrates the Illuminati goal of infantilizing mankind.
As the list below indicates, filmmakers struggle to produce cinematic art. But usually, by some mysterious mechanism, good movies flop making it necessary for artists to sell out to survive.
The story of lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Kevin Spacey leads a brilliant cast that exposes Washington corruption in gripping fashion. This may have failed because Abramoff is Jewish but the film is just as hard on Bible-thumping Congressmen.
6. The City of Your Final Destination (2010) Box Office 1.3 m (budget $8.3m)
(See link)
The Wings of the Dove is a 1997 drama film directed by Iain Softley and starring Helena Bonham Carter, Linus Roache, and Alison Elliott. The screenplay by Hossein Amini is based on the 1902 novel of the same name by Henry James. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards but got none. (wiki)
8. Ride With the Devil (1999) Gross $635K $38 million production cost RT 63%/62%
Directed by Ang Lee. Starring Toby McGuire, Skeet Ulrich, Mark Ruffalo, Jewel.
The premise of Ride with the Devil is based on the true story of guerrillas who fought against Union troops under the leadership of William Clarke Quantrill. Lee said it described “young people coming of age in the worst possible time in American history. I liked the theme of self-emancipation.” (wiki)
9. Kangaroo (1987) Gross $432K
Director: Tim Burstall; Writers: Evan Jones, D.H. Lawrence (based on his novel) Stars: Colin Friels, Judy Davis and John Walton
A mild-mannered English conscientious objector moves to what he feels will be the relative calm of Australia after World War I, but gets caught in the middle of violent battles between the rising trade unions and fascist groups. (wiki)
10. High Art $1.9 m RT 72%/74%
Lisa Cholodenko’s breakthrough movie “High Art” (1998) is one of the best written, best directed and best acted movies I have seen. It presents intimacy, albeit lesbian intimacy, more convincingly than 99.9% of heterosexual movies. Performances by Radha Mitchell, Ally Sheedy, Tammy Grimes and especially Patricia Clarkson are superb. I highly recommend this movie.
