There’s never been a shortage of conspiracy themed movies and there’s always more in the pipeline.
“Three Days of the Condor,” “The Parallax View” and “The President’s Analyst” not only portray an accurate zeitgeist of the time when they were made but offer a compendium of archetypal assassination plots.
We’re not forgetting such unforgotten gems as “The Manchurian Candidate” (1962); “Executive Action” (1973); “JFK” (1991); “Conspiracy Theory” 1997); or Mark Lane’s groundbreaking 1967 documentary on the JFK assassination “Rush to Judgment;” not to mention every sci-fi flick that suggests the government has suppressed the knowledge of UFOs.
The Lincoln assassination by the way was a conspiracy wherein a number of participants were arrested, tried and hung. That’s another kettle of fish.
