I know I've asked this before, but has anyone seen "The Usual Suspects". It 
has some very interesting stuff about the power and development of myth. 

The movie is shown in flashbacks as a police detective attempts to find out 
what really happens during an apparent drug deal gone bad. What he finds is 
a whole underground crime structure revolving around a mythical figure named 
Keyser Sose.

The movie is full of conspiracy, paranoia and hidden plots. Very 
Pynchonesque and well worth seeing.
