Although the Transformers movies don't have a consistent ethical core [except a healthy distrust for government of all stripes] any movie with a hero that stands firm and says "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" has my vote!

And how many have seen this one. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037885/?ref...

"A Knight's Tale," from 2001, starring Heath Ledger. It's about a peasant squire who poses as a nobleman in order to be allowed to participate in jousting contests (which he wins). It's a story about the triumph of a determined individual who "changes his stars." It also has a fair amount of good comedy throughout...

One movie I like from the standpoint of a businessman being driven by a vision to build is "The Carpetbaggers".

Rudy,

Great show, if you have not seen it do so. One of my favorites and definitely based on the true story of the triumph of the individual.

A great movie with an individualistic theme is the "Western" They Came to Cordura, with both Gary Cooper and Rita Hayworth honoring their values.

Don't forget Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and maybe The Last Hurrah with Spencer Tracy. I am having trouble thinking of movies with female leads which are objectivist in nature. I see traces of strong independent thinking women in Liz Taylor characters, like parts of the Sandpiper or Butterfiled 8, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, but not all out whole movies.

Not a movie but the Starz Pirate series Black Sails is the ultimate Objectivist society. Each pirate is an individual acting in his or her own best interests. They choose to join crews based on their own perception of what will profit them the most. The crews act democratically and vote (on a very regular basis) WRT leadership and ventures to pursue. Assets (albeit stolen for the most part) are regularly bartered for and traded. Is anyone else following this series?

one of my favorites is "King Rat" -- the story of
capitalism in a wartime prison situation. -- j

p.s. we should also mention John Wayne's
"MacLintock" where John sets 'em straight.
.

"Other People's Money", one of my favorites.

Cash McCall with James Garner

This one may surprise you--"Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead." Not exactly an Objectivist theme to it, but it is the only movie I've seen (prior to Atlas) with a woman named Dagny as the female lead--or in any role--who at one point tells her lover: "I thought we were making an exception..."

It is an imaginative movie, complete with it's own made up catch phrases and a lot of really interesting scenes.

Agora is the quintessential Objectivist movie, its theme is Faith versus Reason., its protagonist a female philosopher-astronomer.
