Political Films-favorites - Maggers - 09-05-2005 Scott Miller Wrote:I know Maggers likes it as well, so I'll throw Dick into the worthy pile of political films. ROFL! I love that movie. "Dick" is one of the funniest political films, ever. Thanks for reminding me, Scott. I tend to think only of serious movies when someone mentions political films.

If we're going to go that loose, I'll say, The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance. They don't come any better than John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart.

They don't come any better than John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart. A great, great flick. "That's my steak, Liberty--pick it up!" And you're right--it's an examination of the political process. Political Films-favorites - Kenji - 09-06-2005 Crimson Tide and The Hunt for Red October How could I forget those two movies?! They exactly indicated "War = Politics". Political Films-favorites - Terry Willacker - 09-06-2005 Going back a few years: Dr. Strangelove Seven Days in May Mr. Smith goes to Washington (Jimmy Stewart) Political Films-favorites - Keith the Elder - 09-06-2005 The Manchurian Candidate: Lawrence Harvey, Frank Sinatra, Angela Lansbury, The Old Inspector from Barney Miller and another great performance by Henry Silva (he can be so evil in so many nationalities, years ago when I first read The Tomb, I pictured him as Kusum) Political Films-favorites - Terry Willacker - 09-06-2005 Yes! The Manchurian Candidate. One of the best. Angela Lansbury as the Evil Mommy!

And Henry Silva! Yes, to him, too! I also pictured him as Kusum when I first read "The Tomb" decades ago.
