It seems like every day is a day for politics here in Madison. Whether there's a ballot initiative by ASM, or the election of the ninth circuit associate judicial review representative for the 45th precinct, we have a lot going on. But today's elections arguably carry more weight as Bryon Eagon and Mark Woulf square off in District 8, while Bridget Maniaci faces Brenda Konkel in District 2. As important as they may be, students are not the most reliable voters. So to get people in the mood, here are five of the best films to fire up that Madisonian activism and get out the vote, cookies or no cookies.

The mere mention of the subject may force any student to ask, Is affirmative action going to help or hurt me in the long run?""

Believe it or not, I used to want to be a serious person, who did serious things, set serious goals and seriously kind of met them. Instead, I seriously stare at the TV for eight hours a day. When you take 12 credits and only go to class two days a week, you have some serious time on your hands to seriously think.
