I need 20 voters. Don't worry if you haven't seen every political film ever made. This isn't homework--vote for what you know and like now.

Late entrants - The Front Runner, The Bourne trilogy

...which reminds me to add Chappaquiddick, too. Of the two, I liked The Front Runner better.

Other Nixon films: Our Nixon, Watergate.

Horror films: Night of the Living Dead (as definitive on 1968 as Weekend), the 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Get Out, Us. Lots more, I'm sure, but those are the first four that come to mind.

I think you meant there’s only two good political films

Added Winter Soldier, which reminded me to add Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry. Captain America in limbo, pending confirmation...

Okay, I see what you mean now...I thought you meant the 1972 documentary.

To KJB's list, I add Magic Mike XXL.

Anything nominated (i.e., stated, not posed as a question), I'll add to the list. I'm an easy mark here for joke nominations, especially in the realm of superhero movies--whether it's sincere or a joke will go right over my head.

I don't often make an effort to catch up with gaps in movie or music polls--pure laziness, plus I'd rather go with opinions that go back more than a week or two--but I'm going to force myself to sit at the computer for 3.5+ hours and watch Frederick Wiseman's State Legislature off Kanopy. It won't be in one sitting, that much I know.
