Although the last quarter of this year is positively stacked with fantastic films, Steven Spielberg's Lincoln should be on your short list. The period piece is less a cut-and-dry biopic of America's 16th President, played perfectly as always by Daniel Day-Lewis, and more of an examination of the burdens placed on Lincoln to keep a nation from falling apart while abolishing slavery and attempting to hold his personal life together.  While the film is excellent overall (you can read my review here), a highlight of Lincoln is the excellent supporting cast.  A previous selection of clips focused mainly on the President, but this new batch  shows off snippets of the performances by Tommy Lee Jones, James Spader and David Strathairn to name a few.  Hit the jump to check them out.Lincoln, also starring Sally Field, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lee Pace and Hal Holbrook, opens November 16th.Check out the Lincoln clips below and enjoy that old-timey dialogue:[EMBED_YT]https://www.youtube.com/embed/V7Brh9iWajc[/EMBED_YT][EMBED_YT]https://www.youtube.com/embed/cWyE1PGnyZg[/EMBED_YT]Here’s the official synopsis for Lincoln:
