Hard to choose-'Dave' is really a 'feel good' movie about a do-gooder who
gets to do good! A lot like the famous Mr. Smith. 'Dick' is about Watergate.
It is hilarious! Really! 'Bullworth' is another good one, but darker,
chiller, closer to the bone. Finally JFK (al;though Stone's 'Nixon' is quite
interestingly sympathetic) A lot of those things really happened. I have an
excellent study on the assassination, footnoted to a fault, and a lot of
the things in the movie are mentioned and confirmed.

 My favorite political movie is Frank
 Capra's "Meet John Doe," 1941. Capra
 tested the film in different areas of the
 US with four different endings to
 determine which one to keep. In one,
 John Willoughby (Gary Cooper) commits
 suicide. In another, Ann Mitchell
 (Barbara Stanwick) persuades him not
 to leap from City Hall.

 Capra filmed a fifth and final ending in
 which Mitchell talks some sense into
 Willoughby and then faints into his
 arms. Then James Gleason turns
 to neo-fascist capitalist demogague
 Edward Arnold, who has been using
 John Doe as a cover for his secret
 plans to enslave America and snaps,
 "Tell that to the people, Mr. Norton."
 Steeple bells ring...fade to black.
 Ah, if only real life were that simple.
