I have two excellent documentaries to suggest to the iTulip community. In both movies I see strong connections to the work of iTulip, especially understanding how concepts are "sold" to the public and being able to pick up future memes being conditioned into the public:
Psywar - 2010
This film explores the evolution of propaganda and public relations in the United States, with an emphasis on the elitist theory of democracy and the relationship between war, propaganda and class.
Includes original interviews with a number of dissident scholars including Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, Peter Phillips (Project Censored), John Stauber (PR Watch), Christopher Simpson (The Science of Coercion) and others.
A deep, richly illustrated study of the nature and history of propaganda, featuring some of the world’s most insightful critics, Psywar exposes the propaganda system, providing crucial background and insight into the control of information and thought.
"If it is your desire to understand how we are manipulated into believing the things we do -- watch this film. Every American should see it...for the sake of our future." - Timothy Gatto, fmr Chairman, Liberal Party of America

Complete Movie:
Human Resources - Social Engineering in the 20th Century
A documentary about Social Control, examining the history, the philosophy and ultimately the pathology of elite power.
Trailer & Watch it Free Online: http://metanoia-films.org/human-resources/ (note that the trailer is not very good at describing the movie; the movie however is very good)
This documentary is interesting in that it dives into some of the same psychological ideas that EJ has gotten into, including the work of Edward Bernays (Propaganda 1928) that EJ has quoted in some of his articles that discuss using memes to forecast future trends.
