Great Movies about American Politics & Government.
These are the carefully selected movies that qualify for the extra credit assignment in my political science classes concerning American governance. Pay careful attention to the caveats that pertain to "State & Local Government Students" Only," or "Graduate Students Only." If you are in an American Government class, or the like, the majority here are fair game.
