I was just looking at the thread about who our next president needs to be, and the last response from John Henry includes the word "likeable", and it got me to thinking of fictional Presidents in movies.

The ones who instantly came to mind for me were:

Harrison Ford as President James Marshall in Air Force One  (Gary Oldman as the bad guy was awesome, too)

Bill Pullman as President Thomas J. Whitmore in Independence Day

Morgan Freeman as President Tom Beck in Deep Impact

Of course, they are all Democrats... 😀 

Who you got?

Daniel Day-Lewis as Lincoln.  Best acting I've ever seen. 

Edit: Sorry.  Missed the word "fictional" initially.  Lol.

Davie Kovic was not the President, and Designated Survivor is a television series.

Splitting hairs.  Kevin Kline played the president and then the person pretending to be president. 

True, but still a fictional president so not sure why we wouldn't include tv series.

I am a big Sorkin fan so Michael Douglas in The American President.

Obviously Sheen in West Wing if it were a legal answer

Thank you, Marv, for attempting to salvage this train wreck.  You're a good man.

No one compares to Jed Bartlett. I know he wasn’t movie, but he was the best.
