Libertarian Films and Television Shows I've Liked

There are many films and television shows that are laced with some libertarian-type themes.  They are not always apparent, since it's sometimes a small part of the entertainment, but it's there.  I've watched a lot of movies and television shows in my day, and I have to say that such ideals are often welcome in an entertainment culture that is usually dominated with secular humanist themes, which are not libertarian by any stretch of the imagination.  So here's a short list of movies and shows I've enjoyed that have a libertarian theme to them:

• The Night Stalker/The Night Strangler - This was originally aired before my time, but when I first watched this, I loved both these made for television movies.  Darrin McGavin plays Carl Kolchak, an in-your-face reporter who's been fired more than most people have had jobs.  In the first movie, he tracks down and kills a vampire, something he himself is unwilling to believe even exists at first, but the ending really brings out the libertarian theme.  Let's just say that the government morons are more interested in covering their own butts rather than acknowledge Kolchak's own heroism.  The second movie is a rehash of the first, only a different town with a different monster with a Carl Kolchak more open to the unusual answers.  These movies were so popular, a series was made (entitled Kolchak - The Night Stalker) which was the spiritual precursor to the X-Files, I'm told.
• 24: Season Eight - OK, while most of the show involved way too much government for my taste, the final season of the show really demonstrated how all our government resources can be turned against us with even morally upright leaders in power.  I twittered that this season showed what happens when Statism runs amok, and a couple fellow twitterers agreed.  Probably the best part was when Jack Bauer justifies (and rightly so in my view) his actions in the latter part of the season.  Very libertarian approach, if you ask me.
• Lost - This show had a lot of themes in it, but the libertarian theme was really about the circumstances of the characters.  All of them were on an island, dealing with the simple problems that all communities deal with, all without really formalizing a governmental structure.  Even the mysterious and mostly hidden leader of the island never really intervened directly with the inhabitants because he believed that people should know right from wrong without his help.  Two minor characters also end up living their own lives on the island, which also underlines a liberty ideal, that you are only as free as much as you assert that freedom.
• Burn Notice - This show is about a spy who is burned by some unknown party, which basically means he's left to fend for himself.  He ends up doing odd jobs, which usually involve helping people in trouble in ways that the government can't help them.  While liberty ideals aren't really discussed on the show, a man living in his own means and being hired to do essentially police work is strongly libertarian in my view.  Also, the show has Bruce Campbell as a regular star.
• Firefly -This series featured a group of outlaws in a distant solar system trying to live for themselves independent of the central government.  The characters are great, the show's premise was awesome, and Joss Whedon really did a great job with it.  Too bad Fox sucks at picking out good television programming.  The movie that came from the show, entitled Serenity, is much heavier on the theme of the perils of central planning.  I highly recommend the movie, if nothing else.
• Cowboy Bebop - This anime show deals with the a bunch of bounty hunters trying to catch criminals and collect the bounties.  Often times, they end up getting screwed over by the government (in one show, they catch the criminal, but since it was an artificial intelligence, the police don't declare it to be human and thus no bounty is paid).  One of the major aspects of this future is how the police are totally corrupt from top to bottom and very difficult to deal with.  The movie plays this theme as well, which in America is called Cowboy Bebop - The Movie, although the original title was Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door.
• Tears of the Sun - While this movie's main characters are special forces, I found this one to have a great ideal about how sometimes you have to do what's right, despite what your government tells you to do.  Some could argue that it smacks of military interventionism, but I disagree.  Also, since I've traveled to Africa in the past, it's one of the movies that gets me almost crying (almost, I am a man after all).
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - This movie, based on the popular book series (the trilogy of five), features a universe where the President does nothing but distracts the people from the real authority and demonstrates just how absurd bureaucrats really are.  I don't think anyone has captured this level of humor and depth in such a way as Douglas Adams did.
• Penn & Teller - Bullsh*t! - This show is just plain great in demonstrating the stupidity of big government.  There were many episodes dealing with gun control, drug legalization, and capital punishment to name a few.  Too bad they're atheists, because they sometimes make rather nasty attacks on Christianity.  But you can always skip those episodes.

Well, that's the short list.  I know, some of these may be a bit of a stretch and there are always many different ways to interpret a movie or television show.  But that's how I see things.  Feel free to add your own to this list in the comments section.  I'd be interested to see new things with libertarian themes.
