1. "All the King's Men"

with Broderick Crawford (1949). I think he won an Oscar for that one. Great story of someone who ran on fighting corruption, only to be corrupt in the end.

2nd: "All the President's Men" (1976) - Deep Throat never had it so good.

3rd: "Seven Days in May" (1964) - Burt Lancaster plays a real prick in that one.

4th: "The Manchurian Candidate" (1962) - Wow, Frank Sinatra can act!

All time best: "Dr. Strangelove" - "Gentlemen! You can't fight here. This is the war room!"

4. I just received Costa-Gavras "Z" from NetFlix

An absolutely wonderful 1968 flick, a loose fictionalization of the 1960's Greek counter-revolution, which was going on at the very time the film was released. Won the 1968-9 Academy Award for best foreign language film. Also nominated for Best Movie.

Great actors including Yves Montand, Irene Pappas, Jean-Louis Trintignant (!!!).

An unforgettable music score by Mikis Theodorakis.

This is just good shit!
