It represents a lot of effort on his part and we are delighted to share it with film scholars. The conference will be held near the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, November 10-12, 2000. (45 minutes 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: TITLE 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.
