Election Day Is Here! Top 10 Political Films

Election day is finally here, and everyone should be voting today, hopefully for Obama, so I decided to do a brief posting on my Top 10 political films. Now with some of these I may be stretching the idea of what a political film is, but I do associate all of them with American politics. I did, however, decide not to include any documentaries.

1. Nashville (Robert Altman, 1975)
2. The Manchurian Candidate (John Frankenheimer, 1962)
3. Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941)
4. Dr. Strangelove (Stanley Kubrick, 1964)
5. Reds (Warren Beatty, 1981)
6. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (Frank Capra, 1939)
7. Primary Colors (Mike Nichols, 1998)
8. Election (Alexander Payne, 1999)
9. All the President's Men (Alan J. Pakula, 1976)
10. Wag the Dog (Barry Levinson, 1997)

Remember to VOTE today!
