(from the "Books" thread, as an answer to EXECUTIVE ACTION movie excerpt)

EXECUTIVE ACTION looks like the perfect tie for a double feature session with Richard Condon's novel adaptation WINTER KILLS (1979), starring John Huston and Jeff Bridges. If you didn't see it... oh my God. As a satire, I don't think Sidney Lumet's NETWORK can be defeated... but WINTER KILLS gets close! For anyone interested:

A trailer:



And an invaluable featurette:

If NEUROSIS made a movie, it would look and feel like this one:



A group of scientists travel from Earth to the planet Arkanar, a planet similar to Earth but which is "about eight hundred years behind in history, still trapped in the Dark Ages".[1] Don Rumata, one of the scientists, is disgusted by cruelties he observes on an everyday basis but is prohibited by his superiors from interfering and possibly changing the natural course of history of the planet. The only thing the historians have a right to do is to protect and help a select few individuals who seem to be different from everybody else and can benefit the entire planet through their knowledge and ideas. Rumata has to find one of these people, Budakh, and rescue him from the hands of Don Reba, a grey cardinal ruling for a weak king and later, an insane tyrant.
