Movie/film suggestions.

A couple I just now thought about that I liked and are somewhat related:

Primary Colors starring John Travolta who (although the names were changed) was obviously portraying Bill Clinton in the '92 primaries, also featured Billy Bob and Kathy Bates.

Game Change had Julieanne Moore doing a great imitation of Sarah Palin, Ed Harris (who I like a lot, although I am not sure how well he came off as John McCain), Woody Harrelson as a not bad Steve Schmidt,  Sarah Paulson doing a maybe okay Nicole Wallace, and I think Ron Livingston portraying her (Wallace's) husband..  I enjoyed the movie so much I bought a used copy of  the book on Amazon by  John Heilemann and Mark Halperin.  The book was actually well written and evenhanded and was not a trashing out of Sarah Palin as the movie sort of was; I was hoping to read more about Nicole Wallace which was  not included in the book.  I enjoyed that book so much I found a copy of the followup book, Double Down, which was about the '12 campaign, but I did not find that as interesting.

@nonoise ,

Be sure to check the initials!

@thecarpathian Most certainly! I'd hate to go the way of Aristide de Torchia, being burnt alive for what he saw and wrote. 

@immatthewj Since you listed two political movies, one I'd recommend is The Contender, starring Joan Allen (who should have won best actress) as a VP contender, Jeff Bridges as the president, Gary Oldman as a GOP senator and William Patterson, Christina Slater, Sam Elliot and Saul Rubinek. 

All the Best,
Nonoise

I actually did see that, @nonoise ; as I typed a few posts ago, except for his roles in Arlington Road, True Grit (remake) and Masked And Anonymous, I am not much of a Jeff Bridges fan (another subject I seem to be the odd man out on). I wasn’t crazy about him in The Contender, but I actually really enjoyed the movie.

Speaking of political movies, did you ever see The Ides Of March with Ryan Gosling and George Clooney? If so, what did you think of it?

And I noted that you also picked no Country For old Men (which is way way way up high on my list); did you watch another Cormack McCarthy generated movie, The Counselor? I liked that one almost, if not as much, as No Country, but again I seem to be the exception.

Woody Harellson did a great job in LBJ.
