Favorite movies that have had an impact on me - #92 - Election (1999) - Reese Witherspoon is amazing as Tracy Flick, the indefatigable, unscrupulous, ever-achieving senior who is running for student body president. Matthew Broderick is her teacher Jim McAllister, who loathes her. This dark comedy never tries to make any of its characters likable and is all the better for it.
