The FCC doesn't have jurisdiction over movies.  They only control use of
the electromagnetic spectrum (radio, TV, telephones).

To put your mind at rest, there is no evidence that subliminal messages in
movies, or on TV, have any significant effect on viewers' opinions,
thoughts or behaviors.  A number of psychological studies have been done
(some commissioned by people who really wanted to prove the effect
worked).  They all came up empty handed.
