Must See - Election (1999) 103 min. This is an incredible film demonstrating the art of direction and pacing. Every scene is choreographed to elicit a response from the viewer. Matthew Broderick's character is probably one of the best on film. He's the proverbial loser in every way who gets himself in deeper and deeper trouble. Reese Witherspoon, as the over-achieving student, is excitedly perfect. The film only received an Adapted Screenplay nomination at the 2000 Oscars; I think it should've gotten much more. Great picture.
