FILM: LINCOLN and ARGO

Saw both Lincoln and Argo recently via Netflix and thought there were both at the top of current movie making.

Argo was a nail-biter and was relatively a-political treatment of events in Iran in 1979.  The movie is "based on a true event," there was some license taken.  Click here for the Wikipedia link.

Lincoln was another Speilberg masterpiece.  Also significant were the differences in politics of the two major parties of the period.  Seemingly 180 degrees from the current situation.  Remarkable performances by an all star cast.  Click here for the Wikipedia link.
