Need movie recommendations for a school project (1 Viewer)

[Eggert]

Hi,

I'm doing a project at school about leadership in an international context (using Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions as a basis) and I would like to show a few scenes from movies that depict good and bad examples of international leadership/interactions (preferably some funny ones, hence my use of movies instead of documentaries).


Best regards,
Eggert

 

[Jacob McCraw]

Dr. Strangelove - International relations do not get any funnier.

 

[Matt Czyz]

Chaplin's The Great Dictator

Fail Safe

Air Force One

 

[Brian Thibodeau]

Moon Over Parador (VHS only so far)

The Mouse That Roared

And, if you're willing to stoop,

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

 

[Doug:Li]

Gung HO with Michael Keaton.

Japenese American leadership issues...funny movie too.

 

[JonZ]

Nixon: His trip to China

 

[Eman_Ramos]

Dr. Strangelove was the first movie to come into my head. I think it fits pretty well with you want.

 

[ChrisBEA]

Austin Powers.

 

[Harold Wazzu]

Sum Of All Fears

 

[Jack Theakston]

It's been mentioned, but certainly Chaplin's THE GREAT DICTATOR is the grand-daddy of spoofs of leadership and international affairs.

It also serves as a double-meaning, as Chaplin himself was the first international leader (through film-- everyone recognized and admired him) to not only speak up but to attack and mock the Nazis.

Great recommendations. Thanks everyone!
