It was a decent movie...but Freeman was so good that it felt like he was in a different movie. He and Duvall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanticStrings 10 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I have to go with Harrison Ford, too, though I think that Leslie Nielsen was the most impressive of the presidents.For TV, Dennis Haysbert made a great president (Palmer), and Gregory Itzin was the best worst president (Logan) I have seen, both of "24" fame.~Conor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 When you take into consideration the subject matter of ID4 &Air Force One Bill Pullman and Harrison Ford do a good job of playing the President.Some of my favorites have been from comedies such as John Roarke's performance as George Bush Sr. from The Naked Gun 2-1/2 and Dick Crockett as President Ford in The Pink Panther Strikes Again.I think Hopkin's perfromance of Nixon was fantastic and I enjoyed Michael Douglas in The American President.Morgan Freeman, Fonda and Peck were solid.James Cromwell and Donald Moffat were pretty good in their roles in The Sum Of All Fears and Clear and Present Danger. And finally who could forget E.G. Marshall in Superman II? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I really loved Jeff Bridges in The Contender, because of how low key he seemed on the surface, but how agressive his actions and words made him.

I swear I've seen that on a bumper sticker.Actually, I'd be tempted to say Ronald Lacey from The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. But he's not as good as Matt Clark as the Secretary of Defense. "You are... John YaYa. And you... John Smallberries!"Let's not forget E.G. Marshall in Superman II, either.

tpigeon 3 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Worst movie president: Bill Pullman"Good morning... good morning. Hours from now, pilots from here will be joining others from around the world, and you will be launching the greatest aerial assault in the history of mankind. Mankind... that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom - not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not banish without a fight!' We're going to live on, we're going to survive. Today... we celebrate... our Independence Day!"Now, how in the world could you say this man is the worst president? I couldn't think of a better speech to deliver if aliens have invaded Earth and now threaten the very survival of humanity.
