FCW Insider: March Madness, government movie edition -- The List

You all have been just amazing about filling in the gaps in my list. In fact, you have been too amazing. (It was hard to get work done today with all the e-mails coming in on this subject.)

So I think I now have the most complete list of government themed movies anywhere -- so there!

So, here is the full list is alphabetical order.

We are spending some time now coming up with the pairings and then we will post brackets and we'll get going. I think we are going to pare it down to 32 movies -- 64 just seems too much. So that's what I'm working on. (See -- not a bad job!?!)

If you still have movies that we somehow forgot, post them as a comment.

And if you have suggestions on pairings, like Air Force One vs Patriot Games. I'd love those suggestions too.

We'll get the voting started very soon.
