We’re not a political site, so I won’t bore you with the important issues involved in the upcoming 2008 elections. Instead we have at some real hard facts which might help you decide who to vote for. That’s right, we’re taking a look at the leading candidates favorite movies.

Barack Obama (D-Illinois)

Favorite Movies: The Godfather, The Godfather: Part II and Lawrence of ArabiaFavorite Actors: Jimmy Stewart, Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon and Angela Bassett.

John McCain (R-Arizona)

Favorite Movies: Viva Zapata, Letters from Iwo Jima and Some Like it Hot.Favorite Actors: Marlon Brando, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe.Recent Movies: The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Identity, Mission: Impossible, (“I like those kinds of things, the car chases”) The Departed, (“It’s pretty rough, but I kind of liked it. Nicholson plays too much Nicholson”) and Syriana (“I enjoyed ‘Syriana,’ although a lot of people didn’t”).Discuss: Isn’t it strange that McCain was the only candidate with a movie made in the last 20 years?
