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...
