It's election season here in 'Merica, and to
recognize, Mikey, Pinky, and Dave are talking favorite political
films! And who better to bring in to discuss such movies than
the President of the Pretentious Corner, the Witt Stillman fan, the
Film Historian, the Terence Malick Apologist himself, the honorable
Dr Earl.
First up, a round of The Ryan Phillippe Game, where you have to
name all the films of a certain actor like Kurt Russell, Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Owen Wilson or Charlize Theron and more.
And then... fave political movies! People trying to win
an election! Leaders trying to stop a war!
Superheroes trying to stay on the right side of America!
Movies like Lincoln! Argo! Wag the Dog! Captain America
Civil War!
A great recommendation for the movie "Failsafe" as well, if you can
find it, and for "Eye in the Sky", which is now available on
Netflix.
So enjoy the list of political movies and tell us your own
faves!
DISCLAIMER: There isn't any talk of the current political
climate, nor it's candidates, its merely a list of favorite films
involving not just government, but anything where
a leadership plays a game of hierarchy for
positioning...
