Somebody made a list of all the films Bill Clinton watched as President

Alan Loughnane

It was well known that Bill Clinton was a film buff, and he often spoke about the film room that was available to him in the White House.

According to records collected by Gizmodo under the Freedom of Information Act, we now know Clinton watched a total of 171 films during his eight year stint as President of America.

However, Gizmodo remark that the documents they received are heavily redacted in places showing the Clinton only watched three movies in 1996 and seven in 1997 (maybe he had other interests during this period?).

So does Clinton have an eye for old classics, or did he give in to mainstream temptation?

Well it would seem the mainstream lure was too much for Clinton as the majority of movies on the list are popular 90’s films.

Plenty of his choices were films including a fictional US president, and it will be interesting to see what he made of Independence Day and Deep Impact.

It seems he didn’t enjoy either as much as Braveheart, which he watched twice in three days in May 1995.
