Political Thrillers

 My partner in crime Geri and I have started to watch old classics of late, especially as now with Covid not a lot of new material coming out.

On my Forum I talked about Alfred Hitchcock films, on here I want to talk about political thrillers.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO POLITICAL THRILLERS ANYWAYS?

Nowadays the films that pass for political thrillers seem dull compared to some of the classics (at least in my humble opinion).

Examples of what I am talking about:

 Seven Days in May (1964)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058576/

Though the movie is about a General ready to overtake the US government parts are eerily similar to what happened recently via Trump.

Another gem:

All the King's Men (1949)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041113/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4

But one of my favorite all time, and still is, is:

Fail Safe (1964)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058083/

Now, what constitutes a political thriller does vary from person to person, I found a sight that listed "Dr. Strangelove" as a political thriller (say what?) as well as listing "Lincoln" which is really a historical piece more than a thriller.

BUT COME PLAY ALONG ANYWAYS:

GOT any favorites among the genre? Any political thrillers you care to list for Geri and I to watch?

Maybe you know of a gem I have missed.

and Happy Monday to boot!
