Which old movie is most like this election? NEW link

by **PLAYER57832** on Mon Oct 08, 2012 6:00 pm

Summary

Independent producer John McDonough explores a handful of early, mostly little-known movies about presidential elections. It is uncanny how some old, obscure films capture moments that later on became real life political moments.

I have tried to get all the movies mentioned in the poll, but I will revise it when the transcript comes out.

for simplicity's sake, assume the commentor got his assessments correct. (but for my part.. I want to see those movies now!)

I think I might have seen 2... but hope to change that soon.

For the voting purposes, just go on what the commentator said. I thought the suggestions were interesting, though I am happy to hear from anyone who has seen any of them as well!

I'm pretty sure it's a dead link.

I changed the link, but I think you have to cut and paste it, you cannot just click on it.. will try to do better.

As an avid NPR listener you must have a hell of a time mingling on these forums lolz. I may have found an kindred spirit.

Sadly, I picked number 2.

Your vote did not register or you must have voted before I edited the poll. Can you vote again?

FIXED the link this time.. it goes to the trancript, or you can click on "listen"
