The Academy Awards are this Sunday and while it’s a welcome diversion from current events, don’t be surprised if there’s a speech or two aimed at a certain maniacal politician.
Movies may seem a bit frivolous in times like these but the catharsis, humanity, escapism and laughter they can offer can be invaluable as an antidote to stressful times.
So share clips from your favorite movies, they can be just a fave or have a theme, it’s up to you.
I’m going to kick it of with a theme of politics in movies so grab your popcorn and your acceptance speeches, we’re going to the movies!
And this one’s dedicated to Trump:
Now it’s your turn, what are your favorite films? Let’s go, lights, camera, action!
When I think of this great man, it makes me utterly sick to think of who is in the white house now.
Love Russia over America?
Are trump and bannon up for some Russian roulette too?

Some great picks Kalima. The steel mill scenes in The Deer Hunter were filmed in my ex wife’s hometown. She was also an extra in the film.
Great film, Fuzzy. That’s cool about your ex-wife.
A lesson our republican congress could well learn.
