Definitely JFK -- to bad Oliver Stone was inaccurate with that, too. I read the books the story was based on from Jim Garrison mostly (and L. Fletcher Prouty's "The Secret Team").. He did this with "The Doors" and many others. He picks the right topics, but screws them up with distortion and inaccuracies so people can dismiss it all together. I always heard criticism towards Garrison (not Stone) after this movie.. I think Stone is an intelligence spook. The CIA aren't guys in Sean Connery outfits - they subvert through the arts (especially the 60s infiltration)
