Yet another powerful man is found to have abused his position, this time in the film world. Power corrupts, I’m told, but that’s rather a lame excuse imho. But there have been many films about powerful people, people who grab power, even those with power thrust upon them… You may also consider films about power as in electricity or steam generation, if they get your motor running.

I’ll open with the effects of power on Klaus Kinski in Aguirre, Wrath of God. Sends him quite bonkers, poor chap.

What films about power would you recommend?
