Need some recommendations of "political" films like "13 Days", "JFK", "Dr Strangelove" or "Fail Safe (2000)" for example. Is there anything out there that could beat the above? Just dled "Wag the Dog" not sure if it's any good, but anyho. I think you get the sort of feel for the films I am looking for here. Cheers guys.

Some more-or-less-political ones, as the definition can be different for who you ask: Nixon Frost/Nixon Truman Malcolm X Gandhi All The King's Men (not remake) The Candidate Network The Good Shepherd The Last King of Scotland Hotel Rwanda Charlie Wilson's War Traffic Das Leben der Anderen Good Night and Good Luck Syriana Thank You For Smoking The Great Dictator Upcoming PC games 2009 and onwards Bravery is not a function of firepower.

Brilliant list Parallax, cheers!. I think I will start with "Frost/Nixon" as I gave it a miss when it came out for some reason.

'the great dictator' is even greater when you know that this was made before the war, and chaplin was greatly criticised for it
