John Quincey Adams' was not only a president of these here more of less United States, he also took part in this famous trial representing the captured African's who revolted on the slave ship Amistad.

A single man influenced the course of international events with the philosophy of civil disobedience and non-violence.

My mother took my 8 year old daughter to see this. To my daughter's credit she managed to sit still through the entire thing.

Picture this; Ron Silver is Kissinger and Beau Bridges is Nixon! ITS PERFECT! Bridges is the best Nixon I've ever seen and Silver, long one of my favorite actors, is the best Kissiger that I've almost managed to hear!

Don't bother with the Sean Penn version for although he doesn't make a bad Willie Stark (a thinly veiled version of Louisianna governor Huey Long), the remake doesn't have much to do with Willie at all. Another case of the original still being the best.

Greene hated this adaptation of his novel, but I've always had a soft spot for it, probably for the very same reason he hated it.

Stone never intended for his film to be taken as gospel, he merely offered a possibility and asked his audience to think. Anyway you slice it, this is powerful movie making.

The year of RFK's assassination was the first year I was able to vote in a presidential election. I had planned to be in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention too.

President Eisenhower's exit speech warned the nation to be on guard againt the military-industrial complex, but we took no heed, and look where we're at today!

James Whitmore's one man-show as Harry S Truman makes you realize what's missing in current presidents, in case you didn't already know. I saw Kevin McCarthy do the show in person.

My favorite of the loveable-president-comedies produced recently. Cutest part is that only Oliver Stone is the only person who notices that the president is literally a "new" man.

America's "beloved humorist" wasn't what America believed him to be at all.

Sahl wrote, "a social democrat president would have to bomb China to prove he wasn't a communist." That was back when he knew who he was and we knew too. But then he got confused, started admiring Ronald Reagan, and even voted for Richard Nixon, "Nixon's not so bad. He wants the same things I do, he just wants them differently." That sort of spelled the end of Sahl's career.
