Marc: ‘Best Man’ Best Political Film Ever

It’s been a while since Hollywood produced a really good political film. With the exception of Primary Colors and Frost/Nixon, I’m hard pressed to name another really good recent film with a political theme. I’ve got to go back to the 60’s to begin my “best of the best” list. So, lets go to the movies and consider politics on the big screen. Gore Vidal, to the extent he is remembered at all these days, is recalled as a relic of the 60’s thanks to his feuds with Norman Mailer, his lefty politics, etc. Vidal, a really fine writers, deserves much better, not least for his play - and screenplay - for one of the best political movies ever — The Best Man/ Marc Johnson , The Johnson Report.
