Politics and Power: Great Movies for Viewing on the 4th of July (Or Any Other Day)

Our maverick English Teacher, Theatre Director, and film buff comes up with 40 films about American policies, politics, and presidents. No singing, dancing, or flag waving here; these feature length , narrative films ( documentaries are excluded ) take direct if idiosyncratic looks at the nature, use, and abuse of power.
