Election: A list.
Vote early, vote often, and then leave yourself some extra time to watch these films about the American democratic process - which may not always be so democratic, but certainly makes good fodder for filmmakers. Ratings are by GreenCine staff and not subject to a recount (but discussion is acceptable).
Ratings (*s) are out of 5.
To make you more cynical and paranoid:
- American Blackout ***
- Medium Cool ****
- The Manchurian Candidate **** 1/2 (and the halfway decent remake ***)
- Silver City ** 1/2
- Voting in America ** 1/2 (a mixed bag but a few definitely make it worth a rent)
- Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election ****
Campaigns:
- Primary *** 1/2
- The War Room ***
- Last Man Standing: Politics, Texas Style
- The Wire: Season 4 (ongoing)
The Darkly Comical Side:
- Election **** (Out of print but we have for rent)
- Tanner '88 ***
- Ballot Box Bunny ****
- The Candidate *** 1/2
- Bulworth ****
- Primary Colors
Historical Perspective:
Any other suggestions?
Let us know.
