Election Day Viewing

If you're -- like us -- hopelessly addicted to flipping through Twitter's election feed, TPM, and FiveThirtyEight.com while your cable news network of choice plays on the other screen, your frayed nerves might appreciate a movie break on this historic election day.

We've got you covered with two great lists:  at Salon, Andrew O'Hehir recommends ten movies to avoid exit polls by, "some powerful cinematic methadone to get you through the next several hours." And, if Wages of Fear is more than you can handle right now, Michael Tully rounds up his favorite politically-themed movies.

Bonus viewing: At the New York Times, A.O. Scott takes a look at the predictive powers of The Candidate.
