[@chevalierbenoit]

I would have expected The Pelican Brief to make this list.

[@janicehowell3096]

How did you miss Conspiracy Therapy with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts?

[@Scottlp2]

Agree, “3 Days of the Condor” really stuck in my mind.

[@Gor85]

There;s a show

[@akfreed6949]

Watch Enemy Of The State . Pause when Jon Voights character info is shown . His birthday is 9/11 . Watch Terminator 2 . Pause to read the spraypainted warning on the bridge during the bike and semi chase . It reads something like beware 9 11

[@christophersalay]

You think those are signs? How about this one: the number that citizens are “told” to call in case of an “emergency”? 9-1-1. Yeah, that’s right. It’s all connected. Im sure these drones are involved. The Powers That Be even told us to call a specific number, if we notice any drone activity. The number? You guessed it. 9-1-1.

[@josh72456]

I've only seen Jason Bourne franchise, Enemy Of The State, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Marathon Man, Soylent Green, They Live, Minority Report, Blow Out, The Insider, Michael Clayton, All The President's Men, JFK, L.A Confidential, Chinatown, The Parallax View and The Conversation.

Where is The Matrix?

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Capricirn One should be here

[@simonpearn479]

Terrible film!

[@alanwhit8770]

underrated B movie

[@JeremyGlenesk]

I think that Spotlight should have been considered for this list, following the reporting team unravelling the massive catholic church abuse conspiracy.

[@scottsandmeyer]

What about The Usual Suspects? Seems like that should be in there somewhere.

[@RandomRay1]

Enemy of the state was such an underrated movie overall from the 90's.

[@skeller61]

Great list, thanks! I’ve seen most of these and enjoyed them.

[@AllenBroussad]

What about the pelican brief?

[@cajayson8301]

Once I went to the dentist's office for a cleaning. I said to the hygenist "Is it safe?" Unfortunately, she did not understand the reference.

[@marcushorton5847]

Loved Parallax View! Great to see it at 2.

[@TheTerribleIvan]

How is "The Conspiracy" not on this list!?

[@MrDubld77]

What about Conspiracy Theory?!?

[@gregwodzynski941]

Ironically no.

[@AhmedZNemsMan]

Exactly

[@robwest5457]

Typical WatchMojo

[@alanwhit8770]

Terrible film and Mel Gibson is terrible in it.

[@CandiceVidito32]

Captain America The Winter Soldier is really good 😊

[@tylergoodman3560]

​@@JJ.-BB your claim is false because you have no proof to prove your delusional lying.

[@Reaperguy67]

​@@tylergoodman3560 He has something wrong with him because he has to harass others with false claims

[@waylonoconner9121]

The thing is he doesn't even mention the ACTUAL conspiracy issues with the movie. When Cap questions Nick Fury, Fury says, "It's called compartmentalization Captain." Not only that, where do they keep The Winter Soldier? In a bank.... Banks run the world.

[@totallybored5526]

No, no it’s not. It’s terrible because: 1) it’s made by marvel 2) it’s a superhero film 3) it’s based on a comic book

[@melxine]

Where’s Silkwood?!?

[@BruceWalther-s2l]

Good one. i'm surprised nobody else has responded to your mention of the Meryl Streep role. It's a true story, too. Was Karen Silkwood shut up?

[@BeardTech]

The Conversation is incredible

[@guruyaya]

I missed "Who framed Roger Rabbit". Not a usual pick for this list, but still required. "Star Trek 6" however, should have been included.

[@eugeniapatroncosta920]

The Bourne franchise is my all time favourite.

[@mitchellchyette6537]

How about "V for Vendetta?" The conspiracy to put Winston Smith in charge of everything.

[@timdewolfe1483]

Arlington Road, Tell No One, Hot Fuzz and The Wicker Man 1973 are all classics too

[@Charlesb88]

Arlington Road wasn't well reviewed when it came out though it has its fans. Hot Fuzz, was well reviewed but it is too dark comedy for this list. The Wicker Man, a cult classic, is more religious horror then straight conspiracy film.

[@SamuelMcAlpin-ft3uu]

No “Inherent Vice” is a shame. I think that’s the single most paranoia-inducing movie I’ve ever watched.

[@magnificentfailure2390]

WatchMojo has finally tapped into an AI narrator. Whoopie?!

[@ericsnell3040]

Background music (noise) makes this unwatchable for me. Sounds like my alarm

[@paulteese4221]

I'm glad you included oldies. Z made quite an impression on me as a kid.

[@readerathome2751]

what about syriana? Seems like a conspiracy to me that you didn't put that film in this list

[@susanhopkinswarneke2335]

Chinatown is a nearly perfect movie!

[@brianarbenz1329]

A Scientologist actor in a movie warning the public about conspiracies by the powerful. Yeah, right.

[@marielasilvia]

Pelican Brief (1993)

[@BruceWalther-s2l]

Great list. I have to find Z. Costa-Gavras also directed the highly regarded Missing (1982) But, I have to say, I appreciate movies like The Conversation getting more recognition as time goes by ... but it;s gotten to the point it has now become OVER rated. The Conversation is rather drawn out and boring. The Parallax View, too. I have never understood why Parallax is considered SO great. Does anyone ever mention the terrible scene in the water drainage pit and ... oh the hell with it. JFK is the first great movie I think of when I hear Conspiracy. And, yeah, how can Conspiracy Theory not be here. Gibson (despite his rage inducing breakdowns in real life ) was great as the paranoid psychotic(?); and julia Roberts perfectly cast as the journalist Mel (seems to be) stalking.

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

_Captain America: The Winter Soldier,_ the best of the MCU’s second phase, had a great villain in Bucky. Watching it keeps me wondering what we should do when the government gets too powerful for its good.

[@jorgeadairramos7469]

Hello good nights ❤❤❤

[@alanwhit8770]

Dustin Hoffmann not so young in TMM ... 39 year-old playing a college kid. That's why the film doesn't work.

[@BruceWalther-s2l]

Hoffman was about 8 years older than he was portraying in The Graduate too. BUT, in defense of Marathon Man I believe there is an inference that Hoffman's character is a college graduate attending Post Graduate school. Anyways the character is still meant to be considered closer to 30 than 40 ... we assume.

[@alanwhit8770]

@@BruceWalther-s2l fair point, but Hoffman played him as an immature, over-emotional whiner, easily duped by the girl (and William Devane!) ... I just think he's a very limited actor emotionally, and I love KvsK and Tootsie.

[@BruceWalther-s2l]

@@alanwhit8770 Dustin had a memorable stretch of good roles: Midnight Cowboy; Little Big Man, Straw Dogs, Papillon, Lenny (Bruce ... his forgotten best acting role?), All the President's Men and Marathon Man (the same year 1976); Kramer vs Kramer, Tootsie, Death of a Salesman (great TV version, 1986 with early John Malkovich role; and Stephen Lang...), Rainman (1989). Geez, even Wag the Dog was over 25 years ago. Hasn't done anything memorable for awhile, no? Which kinda proves your point. His roles and movies have not been memorable since the 90's. I liked Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy (1990). Hoffman as Mumbles was small part but amusing. anyways I spent more time on Hoffman than i planned. This is me chuckling at myself😅

You guys managed to make this list laughable immediately by ranking Enemy of the state ahead of the Bourne identity! 😂

[@KHALIF-7]

If Matrix isn’t number one, then this list is fake 😂

[@Charlesb88]

That's not a conspiracy movie in the traditional sense but rather a sci-fi film with conspiracy elements.
