The list of films about or mentioning the President of the USA is a great
idea.
I visited the site and found many interesting cites.
Although I think many films can be added to the list.
For example
"Sunrise At Campobello" a film about FDR made in the late Fifties.
The film was a serious, admiring, drama about the private/political life of
FDR.  A film that reflects a sensibility that was an important part of the
decade of the Fifties.

I think you will soon have hundreds of contributions and will need to
organize the site by genre:

films about the Pres.
that focus on the Pres.
that have only a scene or two where he appears but are not central to the
story
how about porno films that reference the Pres.
Maybe you could make the list searchable by the genre column

It is a great idea, good luck.
