A few I noticed missing that I'd recommend

12 & Delaware
How to Die in Oregon
Inequality for All
9500 Liberty
Lord Save Us From Your Followers

and even though this isn't about the US...

Kimjongilla The Flower of Kim Jong Il

That is a must see movie. Made by blacklisted writers and actors in the 1950s about zinc miners. Great commentary on unions, racism, women's rights.

if indeed it can be shown.

Another film I keep looking for is the very first version of 'The Wind That Shakes the Barley' - from the 1920's. It features a brief appearance by the real Michael Collins. Can't find it though.
