Presidential movies

I am not a real big political guy and a frankly I find politics to be more annoying than anything. As time goes by though, I do find more political stuff that I can relate to and I have started to lean towards one party over the last year. As always though, I am more interested in the movie side of politics and as Election Day approaches, here are my top Presidential movies.

Long forgotten and no doubt not a perfect film but Dave has a different and interesting take on the Presidency. It also has a nice love story to it.

Of these films, Dick is no doubt the funniest. It tells the story of the Watergate scandal in a really cool way and is a good early performance by Kirsten Dunst.

Not a lot of people liked this film but I did. Vantage Point is a political action thriller about the attempted assassination of a President seen in of lot of different and interesting ways (vantage points). This is a very original film and again I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Obviously Independence Day is a pretty good sc-fi film but the Presidential angle of this film is really good too. I think it stood out more than maybe it should have and the movie made me like Bill Pullman even more than before.

While this is not a real big list of Presidential films, all of them depict the Presidency in unique and different ways and all of them are quite watchable. Check some of these out instead of election returns Tuesday if you want.
