Great post!
Thank you for this great overview, I loved the American President!
I haven't actually seen any of those films but it's cold and snowy here today so that sounds like a good idea for later. Though at the moment, I can't imagine anything more awesome than what's on my tv right now.
I'm such a sucker for Jimmy Stewart!
I can see I will be rather busy wit movie watching. :)
Howdy! That's clever to preview movies! My favorite of the bunch would be "Seven Days In May". Excellent acting, story and direction in my never-to-be-opinion. :o)
Have a great day! And thanks for visiting my blog too.

Oh fun! I haven't seen most of these. I wish I had time to watch every single one. Thanks for the great post!
Great post! I've seen most of these films and enjoyed them. The American President was on this afternoon, but I chose to watch the real one. I'll hang out in you theater for a while - maybe have some of that free popcorn and a soda while I watch The Crossing again.
