9. Bulworth's a good one

I also liked JFK, Wag the Dog, Nixon (Cause I love Anthony Hopkins but his Nixon was just alright, Joan Allen rocked though)

5. "The Candidate" with Robert Redford

is a very good film. A foretelling of Clinton AND Bush in many ways. Very behind the scenes '70's style grittiness.

Before I saw it knew little about Bobby, now he's one of my biggest heroes. Too bad its not on DVD and its hard to find on amazon. Thank you True Stories Channel tho :).

14. Bob Roberts, hands down

In fact it will be showing in the upstairs room at an informal Kerry fundraiser at my house.

That, "Uncovered: The Truth About the Iraq War," and "Bush in 30 Seconds."

Gore Vidal is great as Senator Brickley Paste in "Bob Roberts," by the way.
