The White House in the Movies & TV

[pokerfan]

Interesting reading from the White House Museum....

How accurate are portrayals of the White House by Hollywood? Some are good; some not so good. Here, you will find reviews of movies and television shows that feature the White House prominently and an evaluation of their accuracy. It should be noted that in the case of fictional stories, a fictional president is entitled to a fictional White House.

1. They missed one of the best White House movies ever.

Dan Hedaya was the best Nixon ever.

2. Harrison Ford as a heroic, ass kicking, president of the US taking out terrorists single handedly

Possibly, Dubya has seen this movies too many times.

4. Dubya makes others do his ass kicking for him

5. They left out "Dick."

The casting was epic win.

Dave Foley as Haldeman.

Bruce McCullough and Will Ferrell as Woodward and Bernstein.

I wonder how the sets compare.

6. With only a $13M budget

it didn't have the best production values which is what I think the white house museum is mostly interested in. But it was very funny with the best Dick ever.
