TOP TEN American Movie Presidents
With the upcoming USA Election dominating conversation, internet blogs, and the TV news I find myself wondering which man will be best for the job.
Personally when I reflect on the qualities that make up the ideal President I tend to think of Martin Sheen from the long running TV political drama The West Wing.
However, the movies have presented some accurate and memorable characterisations of what the President is, has been, should be, and never will be. There have been affectionate portrayals glamorising the role and presenting the President as having superior integrity and ethics. There are the super-hero presidents of action films who are fighting for good over evil, or fighting corruption, or fighting for their owns life or reputation. Perhaps my favourite of all is the flawed President who may be selfish or sleazy or misguided.
