I'm trying to put together a course on how Hollywood interprets and portrays political events and I need a few more good movies to show a bunch of 18 year olds.
So tell me, what is your favorite political movie and why? It can be old or recent.

| I heard a fly buzz when I died |

Today I had the most terrifying driving experience of my life (well, the most terrifying without actually getting into an accident).
It was massively icy outside today. I was leaving a parking ramp and I had the choice of either turning right, which would take me up a hill to the main road, or turning left, which would send me down a long hill that eventually curves alongside the Mississippi river. Normally, I would have turned right, but I noticed that about 75% of the people who tried that ended up sliding backwards down the hill. So I decided to try my luck at turning left.
I pulled out, no problem. I turned the car left, but the car kept going straight toward the sidewalk in front of me and a group of smokers, who seemed like they had been getting a lot of entertainment watching people try to leave the ramp. Nothing I did would make the car turn. Hell, I was lucky to make it even stop. One of the smokers suggested I just drive into the curb, which would bounce me back onto the road and down the hill (and probably to my death in the river. Well, at least I was next to a hospital).
I tried it, because I figured it was better than just sitting there and weeping. It didn't really work. Rather, it sent me headed straight for a telephone pole. In the end, three people had to run up and push my car sideways to keep it headed in the right direction down the hill.
As I slid down the hill diagonally with the window open in case I decided to abandon ship, several thoughts crossed my mind. Should I have been less of a cheap bastard and purchased snow tires this year? I wonder if that guardrail by the river is up to code. Why in the hell is that pedestrian crossing in front of my obviously out of control car? I mean, seriously.
Somehow, through no skill of my own, the car slowed down and I was able to steer it again. The pedestrian lived. I lived.
Time to move, eh?

Fabio? Freakin' Fabio??? That's a deep dark secret that can get you dumped? (ok, I watched the Average Joe 2 finale, so sue me)
I mean, we've all have ex's whom, in retrospect, we find embarrassing. But how could Gil flip out [i]that [/i]much over Larissa's Fabio past?
