Thanks for the recommendation Erin! I picked up a 2-pack DVD of DAVE and THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT at a library sale recently and both held up really well!

I must revisit The American President -- I'm pretty sure that was the inspo for The West Wing

I rewatched a few years ago when Tr*mp was in office and it was soo heartwarming/devastating. Love the Obama anecdote, would looooove to know Michelle’s comfort watches!

SAME. She should post a recommendations list inspired by her spouse's favorite film/book lists

I remember seeing "Dave" in the theatre with my high school boyfriend! Anyone that watches TCM will know that it's basically a modern retelling of "The Prisoner of Zenda" which has been made (in film) over a half-a-donzen times since the silent era...always a fun story!

LOVE THAT. It was kind of a perfect date movie for '93!

Just want you to know this has inspired my birthday watch tonight. I’ve never seen it even though I’m a HUGE Kevin Kline fan.

I love "Dave", and "The American President" with Michael Douglas and Annette Bening. I'd be hard put to vote for one of those over the other.

Travis Kelce would be a hoot!
