I saw 'Executive Action' when it first came out in 1973, and it has stuck with me all these years. It was gone from the theaters pretty fast, and I thought maybe it was "pulled" because of the truth it revealed. So when I stumbled upon it at Amazon, I almost jumped out of my chair.
The part that really stayed with me is at the end when words scroll up listing the odds put out by Lloyd's of London. It's like a trillion to one that all the real people involved in the murder of JFK would meet untimely deaths. It's shocking and something you have to see for yourself.
EA was lost, but now it's found!! Thank you, Amazon. I just purchased it and it will go into my JFK collection..safe and sound.

Another great Conspiracy Theory movie. This was the first big one about the Kennedy Assasination and still one of the best. It is based on the major "what ifs" surrounding this event. Newsreels are inserted tastefully and eerily. Great Acting by Burt and Robert Ryan. A very absorbing movie.
This low budget film makes the plausible case that the assasination of JFK did not involve a huge government conspiracy or mafia involvement. It shows how just a handful of powerful people using "Black Operatives" could have pulled it off. The framing of Lee Harvey Oswald is also quite convincing. The one flaw in the movie is when the right wing power brokers say they can't find any evidence of JFK's sexual activities. That proves how well covered up his sexual trists were by the media at the time and well into the 1970s. This movie is well worth a look and using the most basic of facts makes a stunning case for conspiracy.
