PRESIDENTIAL FILMS LISTED ON FILM & HISTORY WEB SITE: HTTP://H-NET.MSU.EDU/~FILMHIS In preparation for our conference on The Presidency in Film and TV, John Lawrence, retired professor and polymath, has assembled a "complete" list of presidential films. It represents a lot of effort on his part and we are delighted to share it with film scholars. Our conference will be held near the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, November 10-12, 2000. (45 mins from LAX airport.) Films are assembled in decade clusters, beginning with 1900 and ending with "Deterrence," a presidential film released in March of 2000. Each film line on the spread sheet has the following categories supplied: TITE OF FILM Genre Citation for New York Times review. Citation for Variety review Actor-President Plot This collection of information will be valuable to many and is on the Film & History web site. Whatever your focus, it should be of great interest to see how the presidency was being depicted in the time period of your research.
