"6. Fahrenheit 451 (1966). It's based on the Ray Bradbury book about how freedom lovers learn books by heart to subvert a futuristic totalitarian government that attempts to control people's thoughts by banning and burning books. Best libertarian moment: At the end, people are walking around in the rebel encampment in the woods, defying the book burners by each memorizing a book."

Reviews
Fahrenheit 451 (1966)
by Jon Osborne, Miss Liberty's Guide to Film and Video, 2001
"This is a wonderful Ray Bradbury story, and its antiauthoritarian content will make it of very strong interest to libertarians. Truffaut's telling of this story is Hitchcockian at times, and seems all the more supported, as it is, by an excellent Bernard Hermann musical score."
