Bullworth, the most truthful political movie ever made
is on Comedy Central now. It never gained a mainstream audience because it was "ghettoized" and it was too truthful for the mainstream.

1. I'm flipping back and forth from that and The Candidate
a Robert Redford classic.

2. Wag the Dog

This movie might be more relevant when Kitty Kelley's allegations of Bush family-ordered murders come out.

3. I thought that "W" was the part that Redford played.

4. What About Bob Roberts?
It seems more relevant now than when it was made. Funny too.

7. I love Bulworth.
Halle Berry sure doesn't hurt, either. Or... on the other hand... :silly:

9. dubbing out the epithets does not indeed do justice to this film
I wish Comedy Central would do the uncut version.

11. Barry Levinson's "Wag the Dog" . Nothing comparers...Watch it again!!!
Edited on Sun Sep-12-04 10:59 PM by Zinfandel
Also; Tim Robbin's, "Bob Roberts", --Robert Redford's "The Candidate" and Oliver Stone's "JFK"!

And Warren Beatty's "Bulworth" is excellent, as well!
