Movies About Presidents
« on: July 20, 2012, 07:49:29 pm »
I think we should always have short series about Presidents. Just finished The Reagan's and watched The Kennedy's awhile back - both on Netflix and I have to say they were both well done. I watched W from Redbox when it first came out and to me that one had it's funny moments just because George W was quite a character. If they made The Bush's in a series and spanned both, I'm sure I'd like it just as much as the Reagan and Kennedy series. :wave:

They did have the comedy show "That's My Bush" and the animated series "Lil' Bush" featuring the latter President Bush.  Both were spoofs of W. 

I liked Oliver Stone's Nixon and JFK.  I also liked Truman, The Kennedy's, and W.  I have not watched Frost/Nixon yet, but I've heard good things about it.  Lincoln also looks like a good movie.  I'm a fan of several of the cast including Daniel Day Lewis, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Jackie Earle Haley, Tommy Lee Jones, and Lee Pace.

I did watch Lil' Bush and thought that was hilarious, hadn't thought of that show in a long time, might have to see if it's on Netflix.

JFK was great too, never watched Nixon or Truman though. :wave:

I thought Oliver Stone's W was an interesting look at GWB; it wasn't done as a strictly  linear look at GeeDub.  Say what you will, Stone does interesting things with presidents/politics.
