Walker (Alex Cox of Repo Man fame, 1987)
This a film based on some American jerk who became president of Nicaragua for a short amount of time from 1856-57. It has a fun approach to the narrative; the writer hella incorporated the jingo-istic war-mongering discourse of the time into William Walker’s character in an absurd fashion (among other humorous idiosyncrasies) for comedy effect and political critique~
not a 10 but its pretty fun, silly, and on netflix instant! other points of merit: Criterion, soundtrack by Joe Strummer, cool style/concept for taking on a historical event
