The People vs. Larry Flynt

An interesting movie for several different reasons, not least of all the illustration of aspects of what constitutes 1st Amendment rights. Not being familiar with the story, I was surprised that it eventually focused not on freedom of expression in pornography, but freedom of expression in terms of satirisation and lampooning of public figures - an essential element of any healthy democracy. In all, a well crafted movie that, although quite ponderously slow in parts, is worth a look even if only for the discussion of the 1st Amendment.
