You beat me to the answer.  I have a copy of the movie on my bookshelf.  Says here "Based on a play by MICHAEL PALIN and TERRY JONES".  Whoever heard of those guys, eh?  I haven't seen the film in over ten years, but I remember liking it.

I can't believe nobody's mentioned CAPITOL CONSPIRACY starring the always brilliant Don "The Dragon" Wilson!  (Okay, I haven't actually seen the movie.  I found it by typing "conspiracy" into Netflix.)

Also, PI may not be a bona fide conspiracy movie, but it could probably fit in quite well with the rest.

People liked "Enemy of the State"? I thought it was just part that weird phase in the late 90s when people went to see anything with the names Will Smith or Jerry Bruckheimer attached to it, so it made money, but people completely forgot afterwards. Then they bought it on DVD to have something cool for their new home theater system and it gathered dust after they watched it maybe once.

Here's a conspiracy to be destroyed: the whole Don Simpson/Bruckheimer/Michael Bay/Tony Scott/Will Smith daisy chain of mostly big money making films that are totally forgettable.

Can we consider the Star Wars prequels conspiracy films or just a very roundabout coup d'etat by Palpatine/Sidious? Finall saw Ep 3 tonight, so it came to mind.
