Fictional Presidents

[bigshotceo]

Ok, here's the deal. The role of the President of the United States is portrayed by various actors in various movies.

My question is this: which of these fictional presidents was your favourite? Who would you vote for? I only have two requests:

1) Don't make references to real-life people, and no smartass remarks.

2) Only keep in mind the person the actor portrays, not the actor themself.

[tgpo]

Harrison Ford - Air Force One

I'd vote for him.

[galactica]

13 Days - Bruce Greenwood

anyone remember him in the show "nowhere man"?

[stiltman]

the guy from SNL

Does the best impersonations

[holistic]

Mays Gilliam

[teegee420]

Gregory Peck in Amazing Grace and Chuck, also Morgan Freeman in Deep Impact.

EDIT:

13 Days - Bruce Greenwood

anyone remember him in the show "nowhere man"?

Forgot to mention this, yes I remember Nowhere Man. What a creepy show that was. Too bad the story was never concluded. That show totally made Bruce Greenwood's career. I've been a fan ever since. I thought he was great in Double Jeopardy.

Linda Lovelace in Linda Lovelace For President
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074800/

It's not a porn movie...try to dig it up if you can, it's hilarious!
This was released in 1976, and there are number of jokes made in reference to Clinton...talk about life imitating art! This must've been one of Bill's all-time favorite flicks

Linda Lovelace tried to make it as a legit actress after Deep Throat made her a legend...and ironically, it was the last time she ever did hardcore porn.
Her R-rated career didn't do much for her, and her ex husband/manager tried to force her back into porn...and that's what lead her to write two best selling books about her porn Ordeal, while her ex compiled older stag movies and tried to market them as a feature.



I think Buck Henry attempted to make a satire of the First Family in
the 1980 movie of the same name, with Bob Newhart as the president -
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080739/
But it turned out to be a dud


Best parody of a real President I can think of was in Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear
with John Roarke as George Bush...though Margery Ross as Barbara Bush
stood out more


Fred Willard as President Fogerty in National Lampoon Goes to the Movies
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082799/
maybe worth mentioning

[g_shocker182]

[sitlet]

id ahve to say a cross between harrison ford in air force one, or morgan freeman in deep impact. definetly not michael douglas in the american president. that movie sucked

in 1976 Gerald Ford was president -- Clinton (b. 1946) was only 30 years old and unknown for the most part (Clinton was elected Arkansas Attorney General in 1976)...

I know...I meant Bill got some of his wild ideas from the movie.
It fits him like a glove.

You'd have to see it to know what I mean

Funny: President Skroob (Mel Brooks) "Spaceballs"

Serious: Harison Ford "Air Force One"
