The iconic, 1939 Frank Capra classic starring Jimmy Stewart iconized the filibuster in the American political experience. Social studies and history teachers showed the film in class to demonstrate the filibuster. In the film, Stewart’s character seizes the Senate floor for hours, blocking a spending bill and exposing graft. This is what we would contemporarily refer to as a "speaking" filibuster. His voice raw, Stewart’s character finally collapses from exhaustion in the well of the Senate, having spoken for hours. It’s as good as American cinema gets.
