There are a number of movies out there but some are not directly about the assassination mechanics themselves.

"Fatal Deception: Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald" with Frank Whaley, he's in JFK as well as one of the LHO doubles in the conspiracy theories.



I might have seen it, there is also I believe it is called "Love Field" about the couple that travels to DC...but it is only about the way life was in America that day.

?Ruby? with Danny Aiello as Jack Ruby was an okay movie too

No "Executive Action", I have seen it. I don't know if it is at youtube. It's been awhile, I did not absorb it well at the time.

I almost forgot about that movie.

Did ?Executive Action? influence your views in any way?

No, I did not really absorb it. I would have to see it again. It was too vague for me at the time.

Oliver Stone?s ?JFK? remains one of the best political thrillers ever IMO.

As an aside, Whaley played a wimp in Tarantino's Pulp Fiction




And some have called The AmericanTrap (the Dallas-Montreal thing) the most compelling.

It's a pity Marr's 'Crossfire' wasn't an option. That is the biggest lie surrounding the case. Not just a lie though; it was imo an intentional series of lies which makes it a shameful disgrace.

'The virtue of this volume is its comprehensiveness. Marrs seems never to have met a crackpot witness he didn't believe nor run across a conspiracy factoid he didn't accept. You'll get the full case for "conspiracy" here, the good, the bad, and the downright wacky.'

"JFK and the Unspeakable" goes pretty far off the deep end into unbelievable conspiracy theories.
