Who's the best president on film?
 

I nominate these two fictional presidents:

1. Bill Pullman in Independence Day - Whats greater than a president that has nuts and join the frontline? And against Aliens? His 4th July speech is the best ever! :thumbsup

2. Alan Alda in Canadian Bacon - "I want to say to Prime Minister MacDonald: Surrender her pronto, or we'll level Toronto." Just saw this movie again few days ago and forgot how funny it is :1orglaugh At the same time its almost scary on-topic 10 years later...

ME :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

lol...what a fucking coincidence :1orglaugh

Best place for a President is on film.

I second that :thumbsup

Morgan Freeman in Deep Impact

Andrew Shepard (Michael Douglas) in "the American President." Any prez who gets to bone Annette Benning is okay by me. A close second is Kevin Kline in Dave.

bill pullman... LMAO hell no!

I say kevin kline from DAVE and then Andrew Shepard

pulman... hahahahaha you make me laugh

Ronald Reagan?

Yes, Kevin Kline is a better actor, but I think the movie Dave sucked the last part. Not really a president movie, rather average comedy/romantic movie... The president in I.D. was too overheroed and putting Pullman into such sarcastic role was genious, because he does not fit at all as a convincing president. Sarcasm at its best :winkwink:

Morgan Freeman in deep impact.. hhehe he added the word "FICTION" to Science Fiction on that movie

I would have to say Michael Douglas.

Obviously the people on this thread have no appreciation for film. The answer to this question is so simple.


Peter Sellers

in Dr. Strangelove

David Palmer in 24!!! :thumbsup

Since we are going for that era, how about Henry Fonda in Fail Safe? It was basically a serious version of the same film, only without a total apocalypse.
