3. The
Candidate
IThis film won the Academy Award for Best
Original Screenplay. The plot: A campaign
manager Marvin Lucas (Peter Boyle) convinces
activist-lawyer Bill McKay (Robert Redford) to
run for senate. The public swoons. But to keep
their affections, Lucas pushes McKay further
and further away from McKay’s core beliefs
and message. His platform gets watered down,
but his popularity soars.

4. Mr.Smith
Goesto
Washington
Stewart plays an idealistic senator who wants
to make his community a better place. Another
senator (played by Rains), however, has
Stewart’s character in his sights because
Stewart’s do-gooding is interfering with the
corrupt senators’ moneymaking. Stewart’s
character warms hearts and wins minds. “Mr.
Smith Goes to Washington is full of optimism
for the ability of the little guy to convince the
public to act on an important issue,” writes Rob
Samuelson writing for PoliticsChatter.com
starringJimmyStewartandClaudeRains;
directedbyFrankCapra

5. Lincoln
Day-Lewis, you may remember, won the Oscar
for best actor for his portrayal of the president
in this Tony Kushner screenplay.
Says Samuelson:
“For all the soaring rhetoric about equality and
freedom–it takes place as the 16th president
tried to pass the slavery-abolishing 13th
Amendment–the real strength of 2012’s
Lincoln is in showing how political deal-
making happens.”
