    I'm sure you meant Three Days of the Condor. Good choice; great flick.

    And speaking of Flick, I cast my vote for "Election"

    The Godfather is very much about politics.

    Also, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence.

    If you don't want to count those, then All the President's Men.

    Yes, thanks for that correction. "Condor" certainly turned out to be accurate...

    I can't believe I forgot about this movie:

    State of the Union
    [​IMG]

    Tracy and Hepburn. 1946 Back-door, throwback politics. I think I am just about to pull this one out and watch it right now.

    I must say, I am impressed. There are a lot of movies in this list I didn't think younger people would have a clue about.
    Throw in a box set of The West Wing and there's a Summer worth of Netflix right there.
