In celebration of the release of Independence Day: Resurgence and Elvis & Nixon, I figured I’d do a list of My Top Ten Presidents In Movies. Which is a bit stupid since I’ve not seen either of these movies. 😉 I had planned to go to the Independence Day sequel on Tuesday & then do this list but, after the REALLY BAD reviews for it, I decided I couldn’t be bothered. So I watched an equally bad movie at home instead! (San Andreas… Hilarious!)
Anyway, I’ll shut up & just get on with the list. It’s a mix of real & fictional presidents. As always, they’re only on the list if I’ve actually seen the movie. So here are My Top Ten Movie Presidents (roughly ranked according to how much I like the character. kind of. sort of.):
10. Edward Herrmann as Franklin D. Roosevelt in Annie (1982)
9. James Adomian as George W. Bush in Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay
8. Will Forte as Abraham Lincoln in The Lego Movie
7. Jack Nicholson as President James Dale in Mars Attacks!
6. Terry Crews as President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho in Idiocracy
5. Peter Sellers as President Merkin Muffley in Dr. Strangelove
4. Donald Pleasence as the President of the United States in Escape From New York
3. Morgan Freeman as President Tom Beck in Deep Impact
2. Robin Williams as Theodore Roosevelt in the Night At The Museum movies
