Hello, I wonder if I could have your advice on what other films are out there about politics that are worth watching, including documentaries. Below is my list. I really enjoy films like Tinker Taylor or Thirteen days. Fog of War is so good that..well...it really hurts.
I am after films where you can feel the politics behind it, not war films though I appreciate that these are related. Any other suggestions? Thank you!!
Thirteen Days
JFK
Fog of War
Charlie Wilson's War
Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy
NO- Chilean film
All the President MAN
The Remains of the Day
The Candidate
The Queen

I think under best 'political films' you have to include
the Great Dictator
Mr Smith Goes to Washington
Fail Safe + Dr Strangelove.. same source material approached from different artistic angles
Z
Syriana
-
One can't fail to mention Advise and Consent.
Also Hidden Agenda. It may be more of a mystery/thriller but is also very political (and a good movie!).

(thanks Rich)
FAIL SAFE (both versions)
Amazing

Don't forget Italian directors, they made a few of the classics: Salvatore Giuliano, Battle of algiers, Matteo Affair

Does Duck Soup count as a political film? :P

I really hope so, I don't do politics, but if the Marx bros were involved, count me in..

Passport to Pimlico
With the wonderful Margaret Rutherford. What a feast. Politicians should watch this one and learn something.

This film is first rate...

I recommend people watch the 2008 film Frost Nixon. The acting is fantastic, and it made an otherwise dull topic enjoyable.
