Bush’s Favorite Film: Black Hawk Down
Hat tip to Drudge.A former projectionist at the White House has revealed which films President Bush likes to watch when he is not running the country. Definitely a fan of war films, the US President is said to love Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan. "BHD" has some important lessons--I hope he's taking those to heart. Paul Fischer also discloses former presidents' favourites in a TV documentary. He reveals Bill Clinton thought highly of High Noon, while JFK backed Spartacus. According to Fischer, the first film Jimmy Carter watched while he was in power was All The President's Men. The movie is about the fall of his predecessor Richard Nixon. Apparently Carter watched a total of 580 films in the White House, more than any other president. I am so thankful Jimmah was watching films instead of actually trying to run the country! Let's see... 580 movies x 1.5 hours = 870 hours. Divide by 16 (24 hours in a day - 8 for sleeping) and we get 54.375 days straight of movie-watchin'. Posted by: Dar 2003-07-04 |
