Instead of our regular music thread, this weekend we present a movie thread dedicated to movies that should be at the top of the list for Tea Partiers. Ironic titles, amusing scenes and films with plots that relate to Tea Partiers are all welcome!
How can I not begin with this film? The title is perfect and the plot of a sexually repressed, psychotic white male just seems to touch all the bases (is that Ted Cruz as Norman Bates?):
PSYCHO
CSA: THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA
ZOMBIELAND
DUMB AND DUMBER
THE CRAZIES
KILLER CLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE
I think Tea Partiers would be able to relate to Professor Umbridge and her efforts to take over the Hogwarts School of Magic and prevent the students from expressing themselves in the movie
Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix
Good one jjgravitas! Actually, she does resemble Phyllis Schaffly:

And now we have an explanation for those Tea Party Wimmen!
Ah, good one kes. Right on the money. Mrs. Gingrich comes to mind, immediately.
Absolutely, KT. Plastic hair and all!

Baggers are “pod people.”
Mars Attacks Blow Up Congress
MOVIE TRAILER — “A FACE IN THE CROWD”
One of my all time favorites, brilliant pick, KT!
A very prescient prediction of Glenn Beck, or Limbaugh. They’re really interchangeable. 😉
The Day of the Tea Party Fruitless Nutty Cakes
Ha! Great pick Kalima. Love that film!
Me too KT, but it’s no longer as scary as it used to be. Maybe a better title would be, “Day of The TP Roids.
HaHA! Now THAT’S a scary bunch!
Kalima, this perfect pick opens the door to so many more 1950’s invasion films!
How about this one? We could call it “The Invasion of Common Sense Snatchers”.

And of course, how could we not include the movie starring Tea Partiers and portraying the America they want for the future?

Not exactly a film that baggers would like, to put it mildly. But, I think it fits here.
That’s exactly the point, KT. Perfect pick and sequence!
