RRR has proven itself to be just about the best action movie of 2022 so far, providing excitement and action that trumps much of what Hollywood has been putting out lately. It's a fictional story about two men (loosely based on real-life revolutionaries) and their fight against the British Crown's rule in India during the 1920s. Fighting against in...
Set in the distant future (or maybe the present? After all, this is nearly a century old), Metropolis focuses on a revolution by the working class, who are fed up with being exploited in an idyllic, sleek, and modern city that's only really idyllic for the rich. Ultimately, things don't end in complete destruction, as the film's protagonist works a...
Debatably, Fight Clubis more of an anarchist film than a revolutionary one, and generally heavier on chaos and being nihilistic over trying to "fix" a broken society. This is because the characters more or less rebel against the tedium of their lives, and don't have as noble a cause as some other revolutionary fighters. Still, it does capture the f...
One of Stanley Kubrick's most underappreciated films, Spartacus tells the story of a slave who uses his expertise as a gladiator to lead an uprising against the Roman Empire, eventually leading an army and coming remarkably close to achieving his goal.

Sergio Leone is arguably the best-known director of Westerns outside of America, making five between 1964 and 1971. Duck, You Sucker was his last, and easily his most underrated. It may have something to do with the fact it has so many alternate titles, including Fistful of Dynamite and Once Upon a Time... The Revolution. The last of those really s...
Set in a dystopian future, Snowpiercer involves an uprising on a train that houses the survivors of the human race. Within the train, the upper class is situated at the front, and the lower classes are shoved down the back in awful conditions. When they decide enough is enough, they fight their way to the front, discovering just how lavishly those ...
Similar to 2022's RRR, Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India focuses on the conflict between the people of India and the British Crown, who ruled over India until 1947. Through being set in the late 1800s and focusing on such a conflict, Lagaan can't help but feel like it depicts something of a revolution (or at least rebellion), albeit a non-tradition...
Underground won the Palme d'Or for 1995, but otherwise seems like an underrated film that's been a little forgotten in more recent years. It's a shame, because there's nothing like it, owing to its unique blend of drama, comedy, and war genres, with a dash of surreal fantasy for good measure. It tells a story spanning decades, beginning in WW2 with...
V for Vendettais probably one of the most well-known and clearly revolution-related films of the last couple of decades. It focuses on a fictional, future Britain, where a mysterious freedom fighter (donning the iconic Guy Fawkes mask) teams up with a young woman to take down a corrupt, overbearing government. The film lit a spark within pop cultur...
While most films dealing with revolution focus on overthrowing a group of human rulers, The Matrixtakes a slightly different approach. The first film (and its sequels), depict a future rebellion against machines, where only a few have broken free of the simulation they've been enslaved within. While this isn't something that's come close to happeni...

- Braveheart (1995) As great as morally complex film rebellions that showcase the futility of war via complicated characters and ambiguous causes are, it’s always satisfying to watch the forces of pure good rebel against absolute evil.
- Lawrence of Arabia (1962) Remember how we said Hollywood was once caught up in war of sweeping historical epics? Well, with all with due respect to Spartacus, that war ended in 1962 with the release of Lawrence of Arabia.
- Spartacus (1960) At a time when all of Hollywood was trying to outdo each other with epic historical pieces that pushed the limits of what could be accomplished on film, Stanley Kubrick made his own entrant in the race with 1960’s Spartacus; a film which he wasn’t even meant to initially direct and the only film in his considerable catalog that doesn’t really match his infamous artistic vision.
- The Battle of Algiers (1966) It’s rare that you get to describe a movie as an “essential viewing experience,” but that’s exactly what The Battle of Algiers is.
