If not I highly recommend it. It is a fantastic display of the absurdity of bureaucracy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_%28movie%29
Oh why did I bring this up you might ask? Because of this:

Its a monty python twist on 1984 and I think it tells the same message even better.

“To have a passport is privilege, it’s not entitled to you by citizenship,†Priest said. He said the issue may be with a microchip embedded in the back of all new passports. “They have no reason in the world to let you travel if it’s been damaged,†Priest said. “It’s like cutting your photo out or something if that chip doesn’t work.â€
so much for being a free country.

What a way to ruin someone's vacation. I could understand if the passport were illegible or damaged in a significant way, but that one didn't seem too bad. My passport doesn't even have the new chip so it seems like they should be able to deal without it as long as all other information is there.

What a fantastic and depressing film, I loved it.
Especially Bob Hoskins.
