In an era where Americans are as divided as ever over politics, its line with pop culture has become even more blurred.
Newsy looked at 40 movies about U.S. elections, from films about real political figures to fictional presidential, mayoral and even student government races.
Political figures on screen, including main protagonists like the title character of"Bob Roberts," were more likely to be seen as villainous and corrupt regardless of party. Several films like"The Campaign,""Dave," and"Head of State" featured fictional villains in politics that were almost unrealistically unlikeable, unethical and insincere to highlight the negative aspects of political ambition.
As exaggerated as these negative fictional depictions can be, they can also reflect real voter perceptions. With that in mind, it's easy to see why election movies lean as negative as they do, but that doesn't always mean a bad ending.
