The 25+ Best Movies About American Politics (Vanity Fair)

"Unlike movies about Hollywood, which almost always poke holes in the industry that created them, movies about politics come in all stripes. They can house our greatest ideals about our leaders, or our worst cynicism, or our most out-there ideas about how the people in power really operate. We've picked the classic satires, searing dramas, and riveting historical accounts that are the 27 best movies about politics. (Technically it's supposed to be 25, but there were two ties too irresistible to leave out) These films—selected by Vanity Fair contributing editor Michael Kinsley, alongside longtime contributor Todd Purdum and esteemed film critics Glenn Kenny and Jordan Hoffman, represent Hollywood's finest examinations of the only American institution more powerful than itself." - vanityfair.com
