Death of the Jackal! I think Hitchcock's 39 steps can count too, even if its not about a major figure. They're both great though. Political assassination has been a fiction trope since early literature, no?
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y agoYou meant The Day of the Jackal, the thriller about the assassination of de Gaulle, right?
- ulisesrmzroche 12y agoYes, my bad. Thanks for catching that! I wish I could go back and edit.
- ulisesrmzroche 12y agoEdit: It's actually "Day of the Jackal". Sorry HN!
- bruceb 12y agoExcept death of a president and Day of Jackal are not saying haha we are going to kill the leader of a country.
- ulisesrmzroche 12y agoCharles de Gaulle was president of France. I don't think tone matters here. I think we'd still be here if it was a Michael bay snoozer.
