Political films

So the programme, President Hollywood, that I mentioned when comparing the election to The West Wing, was fun enough, I suppose. It did mention a number of political films and TV programmes, some of which I'd not seen (although the programme's topic was the American presidency as depicted by Hollywood, it did mention other political films).

These are the ones I remember being mentioned:

Mr Smith Goes to Washington
Young Mr Lincoln
Kisses for my President
The Man
The Candidate
The Parallax View
Three Days of the Condor
All the President's Men
The West Wing
Commander in Chief
Wag the Dog
Primary Colors
Dave
The American President
Clear and Present Danger
In the Valley of Elah
Rendition
W

not counting some, like 24 and Deep Impact, that happened to feature a president, but only in passing, I think.

I've seen the ones I've marked in italics, and enjoyed them all. Yes, even Commander in Chief. I think my trash threshold must be much lower in films about politicians (just like, when TV SF was rare, I'd watch and enjoy anything that was vaguely SF). Actually Commander in Chief did deal with a few interesting issues, like whether the Equal Rights Amendment could still be passed. Maybe I should see whether there are any episodes I missed.

Anyway, via the magic of BitTorrent/RapidShare VOD/DVD, I thought I'd try to see many of these, including rewatching some of my favourites, like The American President (Sorkin's first attempt at The West Wing). I've already seen All the President's Men recently (with emily_shore), as well as All the King's Men (with jackfirecat) and Inherit the Wind. I am kind of embarrassed that I've never seen Mr Smith Goes to Washington, so that's early on the list.
