Which election, to put it one way, was so intense and close that would you like to see it as an "anime fight"? Hands down, Crist vs. Criminal for me.

1948 could make for a perfect action/suspense movie.

Over the past decade, I'd say the #1 spot goes to NV-SEN 2010.

The Mississippi Senate Primary in 2014 was thrilling, until the clownshow dragged on and on.

1972 for a dark epic where he bad guy wins

1964 or 1860 where scale is concerned

1968 is unparalleled among modern elections.  January, McCarthy's strong showing; mid-March, RFK shocks everyone by jumping in; late March, LBJ stuns the world by declining to run; days later, MLK assassinated; June 5, RFK gets crucial win in California and is promptly shot and dies a day later; at Dem convention, open war on the streets on Chicago...  goes on and on.

Yeah you're right, I'm embarrassed I didn't mention 1968. It's by far the craziest.

also occurring in that period from March to July 1968 were unrest both in France and Mexico City, as well as in Prague on the Soviet side of the curtain.  for just a moment the very ground of the World order was shaking.

aha almost forgot about '68, heck RFK's campaign alone should be a feature film. The campaign that inspired America?
