Politics are everywhere today, due to the election. If you need to take a break from the political pundits analyzing and re-analyzing the election tonight, find comfort in other things election related as we examine the greatest election movies of all time.

“Primary Colors” (1998)

In a movie that strongly hints at the lives of Bill and Hillary Clinton, this dramedy relates the efforts of the people within a campaign to the candidates they support. While the movie isn’t officially a depiction of the real-life Clinton campaign, the movie does have striking similarities. If nothing else, Travolta as Gov. Jack Stanton is immensely entertaining.

“Recount” (2008)

This HBO film documents the days before, and the controversial aftermath of, the 2000 election. Although the ending is obvious, the route in which the movie gets there provides a tensely intimate look into the Gore and Bush camps amid hanging chads, voter machine fraud and lawsuits. An impressive glimpse into one of the most talked about events of the century.

“Election” (1999)

In Reese Witherspoon’s breakout role as Tracy Flick, a sadistic, goal-driven high school student, this underrated black comedy documents the complexities of a high school election. As a dumb jock, played by Chris Klein, runs against Tracy, the film becomes a hilariously vengeance-fueled competition, the true spirit of election season.

“Bulworth” (1998)

There is nothing funnier than hearing the grandfather-like Warren Beatty rapping and jiving for 90 minutes. Beatty plays Jay Bulworth, a senator who’s running for re-election. Beatty embarks on a political transformation as he begins to speak honestly and openly to inner-city communities. Beatty is flawless and the film is as politically incorrect as it is laugh-out-loud funny.

“Wag The Dog” (1997)

Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman are a producer and a Washington insider who create a fictional war to avoid a high-profile sex scandal. This explosive satire is still as relevant today as it was a decade ago. This comical, and often times disturbing, look at the media’s influence in politics is an intelligent farce.

“Head of State” (2003)

So it’s not the most prestigious political film out there, but Chris Rock as the commander in chief is pretty funny. When the president dies, a D.C. alderman (Rock) is picked to run for president. Along the way, typical Rock humor is applied, and a supporting cast of Bernie Mac and Tracey Morgan adds some more humor, but this comical look at the election process is a lighter approach to the ever serious world of politics.
