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
