Looking for a great, under the radar election season movie, watch 'Shampoo' (1975)

It takes place on election day 1968 a d follows Warren Beaty as a hairdresser in Beverly Hills and his romances with Goldie Hawn and Julie Christie (his real life on a off again GF).
The film is not overtly political at all and really takes puts both Democrats and Republicans in good light. But the politics are all just background.
It's a star power movie and a movie star movie. The cast also includes Jack Warden, who nearly steals the whole film as Julie Christie's sugar daddy.
Goldie is also an angel in this film. The writing is phenomenal, as is everything else about this Hal Ashby classic.
I recommend it to anyone looking for a top quality comedy drama, relationship film. It's one of my all time favorite films.
Christie was ravashing.

Also features a perky young newcomer some of you may recognize:
For a foreign take on an election day movie, check out the Aussie indie film Don's Party, with the election and the film's release both occurring a year after Shampoo (1969 and 1976, respectively). It's free on Amazon Prime right now.

Black Shampoo (1976) is a fun watch too.

Agree. Streaming now on Criterion Channel, great movie, much FUN.
Another under radar: Jackie Brown...one of Tarantino's earlier films. I watched recently after not having seen when it first came out decades ago. I had forgotten just how good that movie is, great story, pace, so satisfying the ending. Co lead Robert Forster so underrated, low key; he's so good in this role that when watching you think the guy is a real person playing his real life job.
