10 Films President Trump Needs To Watch

10. The Intruder

William Shatner gives the performance of his career as Adam Cramer, a racist whose fiery rhetoric brings to mind W.B. Yeats’ line that “the worst are full of passionate intensity.” Arriving in the (fictional) Southern town of Caxton in the early 60s, he proceeds to incite the white townspeople to violence in order to resist the recent court ordered desegregation of schools.

It’s difficult to say if Cramer genuinely believes his message or whether he’s delivering it because he enjoys putting on an act for those he knows will listen, but his supporters believe him and it’s not long before the situation spirals out of control.

“You’ve got no room in your head for intelligence,” a character tells him. “If you were intelligent, you would see you’ve started something you can’t control. You think you’re the boss now? Wake up, boy, that mob is the boss.”
