U.S. Politics on the Big Screen

Kevin Costner spoke on "Good Morning America" today about his new movie "Swing Vote." The film, which comes out on Friday, follows a presidential election in which the outcome is left to the decision of only one man, Bud Johnson, played by Costner. While this plot may fall under the category of far-fetched, with the 2008 presidential election less than 100 days away it could not be better timed.
But "Swing Vote" is far from the first silver screen adaptation of American politics. Check out some of the best political movies in recent history.
