Let’s figure out an election-year movie watchlist.
Welcome to another talk piece here at Moviegoing with Bill, where fellow moviegoers are greatly encouraged to comment and engage with one another. A mini-forum and a virtual soapbox. Enjoy!
Dear Moviegoers,
A few twists and turns in the 2024 race for U.S. President have happened over the last few days, to say the least. While this publication is a film criticism house, let me just state that:
Gun violence is an epidemic that must be dealt with urgently, no matter the scenario.
Fascism is still on the ballot.
Picking J.D. Vance as your running mate is straight out of the Mini-Me introduction scene from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
With that in the way, I’d like to offer up the following query. What movies would YOU choose to show at a swing-voter event? These picks don’t have to be outright political stories, but ought to be the kind of flicks that stir positive and thoughtful chat. Maybe a short speech beforehand would be appropriate too.
Please feel free to comment at any length, share or forward this thread to friends and family, and consider becoming a supporting moviegoer - subscriber exclusives are on the way!
