Air Force One is just starting. I love Harrison Ford so damn much, even though I'm finding his speech to be way too soft-spoken and mellow to be captivating or presidential. More seriously, I like watching movies about presidents (or with presidents in them, at least). I like seeing how screenwriters and directors present them. I like seeing what kind of person and leader they think a president should be. I don't think anyone has raised them to the ideal that Aaron Sorkin did in The West Wing and The American President, but I was always kind of fond of Bill Pullman in Independence Day (even though it is 100% unrealistic that he would be allowed to fight in battle...the Secret Service would have dragged him kicking and screaming into some underground bunker, I'd imagine).
