1) The American President (1995), directed by Rob Reiner, and starring the always dashing Michael Douglas, and his equally stunning leading lady, Annette Bening. A classic romantic comedy, both well written and acted, and full of the charisma of old- Hollywood standards, this movie will always be fun to watch. Why can't real politicians be this upstanding and honorable?
2) Dave (1993), directed by Ivan Reitman (of Ghostbusters fame), and starring Kevin Kline (whom I adore), and Sigourney Weaver. Why does the U.S. President inspire so many romantic comedies? Anywho, this is a really good one, and Kevin Kline is hilarious. I especially enjoy the dastardly cabinet member (yes, dastardly), and I actually do believe that every cabinet must have at least one super-villain.
3) Air Force One (1997), directed by Wolfgang Petersen (you gotta love the name Wolfgang), and starring Harrison Ford, who is my personal pick for President of the United States, 2008. I really think that you guys should get behind this candidate. He is completely badass, and studly, and I also imagine that he is both a champion of civil rights and education, and an avid environmentalist. Is this fantasy too much to ask? If so, then just enjoy this action-packed thrill-ride of a movie.
4) Election (1999), directed by Alexander Payne, and starring Mathew Broderick (who needs to do something with himself these days!), and Reese Witherspoon (who kind-of annoys me). This uproarious dark comedy follows the mental breakdown of a high-school principal, as he becomes overly involved in the student elections. Witherspoon is the neurotic, obsessed-with-ambition-and-perfection student that drives Broderick to the brink, and many antics ensue throughout that will leave you very amused, I am sure.
Please vote today, and remember to add Douglas, Kline, and Ford to your ballot!
