The saddest thing about the possible "US President appeared in it" rule is that now Home Alone 2 is eligible

Only sad because it's too early for Christmas films (also the Trump stuff, but fuck that guy, he isn't ruining that film along with everything else).

It's never too early for (good) Christmas films!

For anyone that hasn't seen it, this week's theme is a good reason to watch the excellent Frost/Nixon.

Also, this page may help when trying to find examples that fit the theme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_actors_who_played_President_of_the_United_States

I will be watching Oliver Stone's W.

[Your Mom]

I feel like there a bunch of fun ways I could cheap out on this but I am actually going to try and watch a presidential type drama. Outside of Lincoln I can't think of one I've ever seen

[Jimmy]

I might try and hunt down The American President, otherwise I need to do some actual research to find something I really wanna catch. 

[Benji]

FYI, you can all just watch The Fifth Element cause the President in that is President of the Federated Territories which includes earth which therefore includes the USA.

You are welcome

A good Christmas film? I know these words but never used in that order.

[GoGo Yubari]

For my pick, I'm leaning towards Elvis and Nixon right now because I think I want to watch something really ridiculous. The Nixon comedy I actually want to watch is probably Dick but I don't think that's streaming anywhere.

Though I just realized that Amistad qualifies and John Quincy Adams' role in that trial has always fascinated me, so now I'm gonna have to think about it.

Not a chance mate I don't think I've seen one that I can stand

Die Hard doesn't count because it is a good film. Don't sully the good name of Die Hard by using Christmas anywhere near it :@

Well, then in the words of that loveable scamp Ellis.

So, what, did you just think John McClane was fighting three prostitutes during the first film?

[MDK]

I don't classify it as a Christmas film because its good

[King Ellis]

Looks like we've got a real SCROOGE here.
