Alright, this is kind of a broad topic. This week sees the release of two films in wide release, The Mummy 3, and Swing Vote. While the Mummy 3 looks fun, and Swing Vote looks purely horrible, I thought that this topic would be more interesting than my other option, Adventure films. So, with the release of the impossibly ploted, one-man's-vote-decides-election film, Swing Vote, comes my list of top 10 politically charged films...I took this term pretty loosley, so this is pretty broad...
10. Wag the Dog
9. No End in Sight (the best Iraq War film made to date)
8. The Manchurian Candidate (ORIGINAL)
7. Election (High school elections...maybe the best highschool film ever made)
6. Citizen Kane
5. Full Metal Jacket/ Clockwork Orange
4. Reds
3. All The President's Men
2. Schindler's List
1. Dr. Strangelove
What is your favorite "political" film...

Probably not my favorite, but I'll put a mention out there for The Candidate starring Robert Redford. Good stuff.
