Best TV Show/Movie Involving Politics (Fiction Only)

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I haven't seen state of play, though we have it.

I like the movies "Mr. Smith goes to Washington", "The Manchurian Candidate", and "The Best Man". Anyone seen "The Best Man"? Takes place in 1964 at a party's national convention. The two leading candidates are the former Secretary of State played by Henry Fonda, a liberal, and the more Conservative candidate, a Senator from somewhere out West, I believe. I think it was based on a play written by Gore Vidal. Fonda represents Stevenson while his Conservative rival represents John F Kennedy (who incidentally has his older brother running his campaign, himself a former candidate at one point or another). Very interesting movie.

Though it doesn't count non-fiction, I was entertained by "W." and "Nixon". Hoping to be able to see "Ides of March".

Probably leaving something out here.

Have there ever been any alternate history films made?
