The 20 Best Political Movies According to Rolling Stone

"How better to thread the particular needle of knowing how best to vote in a presidential election than with movies about American politics? Filmmakers have long been dealing with the topic of our nation's origin story, and how our particular manner of governance — 'by the people, for the people,' or at least that's how it reads on the page — has contributed to the idealistic image of America that its citizens hold near and dear to our hearts. But well before Watergate became more than just a hotel, the movies have also cast a keen kino-eye on how American democracy is a notion that's ideal in conception and too often flawed in execution. Here are our picks for the 20 best films exploring the good, the bad, and the extremely ugly aspects of American politics." - rollingstone.com
