If you live, eat, and breathe politics like I do, you tend to watch a lot of political tv shows or movies. There are movies or tv shows that I re-watch at any opportunity I get. I thought I’d share some of my favourites:
- West Wing – best political show of all time. There are so many great clips from this series, but this is one of my favourites for sure.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYaewOBGybw - The American President with Michael Douglas & Annette Bening (great twist, Martin Sheen is also in this movie)!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC2jhQ0KAAU - Scandal is an incredible show that has a kick-ass woman who wields power in Washington.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvSI_sg3e0Y - House of Cards – American version
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgTIhT5aLCg - House of Cards – British version

Bonus: The Newsroom – although this isn’t a strictly political show, there is a great clip from the series that needs to be included in any list!
What do you think about the clips? What would you like to see on this list?
I know the clip you mean, brilliant, but I suppose that ‘s the Canadian in me wanting humility in our neighbours. Speaking of which, has there ever been a fictional show about Canadian politics?
