'Tis the season! Favorite political movies?

I begin and end with "A Face in the Crowd."

Timeless and true.

Second place...."Election." Brilliant.

I thought "The Candidate" was good, a little.

"Bob Roberts" too partisan.

"The Jackal" (1997), "Day of the Jackal" (1973). - free.ranger 08:32:10 11/07/12 (0)
The first, a plot to kill the First Lady. The second, to kill DeGaulle, which is the original story line.

Both based on the great novel (loosely for "The Jackal") by Frederick Forsythe published in 1971.

The Great McGinty for starters... - eppis1 01:20:25 11/07/12 (0)
...The Glass Key...I picked a couple 1940's Brian Donlevy movies. And there's "The Candidate," too, Robert Redford. How about "Reds" with Warren Beatty? "Seven Days in May," and "Advise and Consent,' and 'The Best Man," with Henry Fonda. Too many good ones to count.

Winter Kills was decent, book far better. I'd also add the Starz series "Boss". Season 1 was awesome.
and a huge +1 for the original All The King's Men
