Oooh, friends were caught quoting "The American President" last night. Love it!
I also really like the Contender

I love "My Fellow Americans". It's hilarious.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

I love the part where he punches all the reporters :).

Chinatown and On the Waterfront are both awesome.

Hands down, "The American President"...can't find better dialogue anywhere.

"Well, that's where you're wrong. The 200 pairs of eyes in the room are not watching me, they're watching you. And the answers to those questions are: Sydney Ellen Wade; and because she said yes."

Oh, and I love this too:

Cate and Karen already know what I'll say. Come on, say it with me girls. Love Actually. I love the shit out of that movie. If Barack does the "Jump for My Love" at a rally, game over, election won. The only dance McCain can do is the Frankenstein part of the Moster Mash with those damn arms of his. Yeah, I went there.

But....even American President gives a nod to Mr. Smith when Sydney tries to savor the Capra-esque quality of her White House visit.

The Manchurian Candidate...but more recently, I thought Breach and Syriana were totally bodacious.

The American President. Because of that movie, I now know which lane to get into at Dupont Circle.

V for Vendetta! If only...

Although I should clarify that I do not endorse violent destruction of the State - only peaceful withdrawal.

I love The American President. Dave is good too. And Election if that counts. But right now my focus is on the fact that Tim used the word bodacious. Awesome.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU?? LEGALLY BLONDE 2? RED WHITE AND BLONDE ROCKS.

It has gay dogs? Leslie-where is your pride?

You guys suck with your Michael "Sex Addict Married A Welsh Slag" Douglas. Although Zeta Jones as first lady would be good.

OGGY OGGY OGGY OI OI OI OI (this is a welsh chant)

The Candidate, Jeff Bridges and the asking the chef for bizarre food items makes the movie.

Unknown said...

I am shocked. Where is "All the President's Men?" The quintessential political movie. Deep throat? Nondenial denial? When is somebody going to go on the record in this story?

Plus, Apocalypse Now

Anyone over 30 out there besides me?

Why Leslie, you have a blog! Rock on. I'm a huge fan of Primary Colors, largely thanks to that fabulous scene where Allison Janney falls down the stairs. I have simple tastes. :)
