Behold: A complete list of every movie Bill Clinton watched in The White House

The Iowa caucuses are today, which means that the race for The White House is really kicking off tonight. Whoever becomes the new POTUS will have the fate of the free world in his or her hands. He or she will also be able to watch movies in The White House, which sounds pretty flippin’ sweet. (You can thank Jimmy Carter for making the Iowa caucuses matter. And as Matt Novak at Gizmodo points out, Carter also watched the original Star Wars with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat before the Camp David Peace Accords.)

Gizmodo filed a Freedom of Information Act request and obtained a complete list of the movies Bill Clinton watched while in The White House. He watched 171 films in his two terms as President, including a curious dry spell in 1996 and 1997.

Let your speculation run wild.

We’ve got the full list is below the cut. I think film/culture critic Nathan Rabin put it best on Twitter:

What movie would you like to see with a President? You may choose any president you wish and post it in the comments. (I’d watch Drunken Master 2 with Teddy Roosevelt.)
