"All the President's Men" Starring Dustin Hoffman & Robert Redford. Directed by Alan J. Pakura. 1976.
"The Parallax View" Starring Warren Beaty. Directed by Alan J. Pakura(it's coincidence!). 1974.
And.....it's not movie, but I like "The West Wing"
BTW, welcome to the board, RichE!

My favorite is Bullworth, by far. My second favorite would be American President. I generally don't care much for political type films (unless you count films like Clear and Present Danger).

According to imdb, "Clear and Present Danger" is Action / Thriller / Drama. But if that title was "Clear and President Danger", that'll be political film.

Thirteen Days (2000) - with Kevin Costner wasn't all that bad.

It does in my book, the auditing scene makes way too much sense.

Good call, I found it entertaining and informative. Greenwood was quite believable as JFK.
Speaking of JFK, and Costner, I thought JFK was an outstanding political thriller.
And speaking of Oliver Stone, Salvador is another bombshell of a political film.

I know Maggers likes it as well, so I'll throw Dick into the worthy pile of political films.

I don't know if the gang would consider this a political flick, but I think it is: THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL.
