Yes, it's President's Day and we're sure you're all taking advantage of the holiday to consider the great impact our presidents have had on the United States. Okay, maybe not so much. Anyway, here at Movie Smackdown, we're very comfortable letting historians debate such details as to whether Woodrow Wilson was more naive than Jimmy Carter, or Teddy Roosevelt more charismatic than John Kennedy, or even whether Richard Nixon was more venal than George W. Bush. 
You see, we have our eye over here not on the real deal but the reel deal. Namely, which Presidents that exist only on the big screen have been our favorites? It's a pretty fine list with action heroes mingling with single hunks and even imposters. It also has some screen dopplegangers — like which President did Bill Pullman remind you of when he was in that fighter jet? And when Morgan Freeman calmly tells us to keep our act together in the face of disaster he does seem a little like that current guy. Anyway, the polls are open!

About Bryce Zabel
Drawing inspiration from career experiences as a CNN correspondent, TV Academy chairman, writer/producer and fast-food cook, Bryce is the Editor-in-Chief of Movie Smackdown! While he freely admits to having written the screenplay for the reviewer-savaged "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation," he hopes the fact that he also won the Writers Guild award a couple of years ago will cause you to cut him some slack. He's also a member of the Directors Guild, creator of five primetime network TV series, and author of a new non-fiction book about UFOs.
Yeah i will also go for Peter Sellers. He is great one. He is hilarious one and one of my favourite president. Thank you very much !!
Ohh, great choice! I forgot about Sellers!
Peter Sellers’ hotline conversations with the Soviet Premier are still dryly hilarious, after all these years. And his “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in the War Room” line is still the standard for satire. “Strangelove” gets my nod.
Harrison Ford in Air Force One. “Get off my plane”…. chokes me up every damn time…. oh, wait, no it doesn’t… it’s still cool though.
Bill Pullman in Independence Day! C’mon, it doesn’t get any cooler than that. You want a president who can listen to people he disagrees with, but also can get pissed enough to take the fight to the aliens. And that speech? Still chokes me up EVERY DAMN TIME!
