There are many out there. I like to watch movies based on conspiracy theories. There was a Mel Gibson movie called Conspiracy Theory but it wasn’t very good. Excellent premise just poor execution. A recent movie I have seen that involve conspiracies was the Good Shepard with Matt Damon in the CIA. Yes, the same actor in the Bourne Conspiracy trilogy that I think are actually good and entertaining action flicks. The Good Shepard was a good movie but too long for most people. It may even have had too many characters and a confusing timeline. I might have to watch that again when I am up for it. I really liked that George Clooney movie Syriana. It didn’t do too well at the box office but got good reviews. It is fictional but seems like it actually could happen in our government.

I checked out Wikpedia to see what they list as a conspiracy theory. It actually had a good definition: “conspiracy theory” may be a neutral descriptor for any conspiracy claim. To conspire means “to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or to use such means to accomplish a lawful end.” However, conspiracy theory is also used to indicate a narrative genre that includes a broad selection of (not necessarily related) arguments for the existence of grand conspiracies, any of which might have far-reaching social and political implications if true.

I guess the most popular conspiracy theory is in regards to the John F Kennedy assassination. We’ve all seen it in movies, magazines, and investigative TV shows that cover this topic. Do you believe it was just one guy? It doesn’t seem plausible to me that one man could do that by himself. Even harder to believe in the Warren Commission report is the way that bullet hit more than one person. Well, I guess we will never know. Check out wikpedia about other interesting stories related to that tragedy. You will be surprised to see what is written. I knew I was.

There is a list of conspiracies, all interesting in their own ways. They are all theories and will probably stay that way in our lifetimes, but all very interesting to read. Here is the list and you can google any of the topics if you want to learn more about:
