I loved him berating John Lithgow into saying "nanu, nanu."

My mistake, I thought that is was a direct-to-video one, but further research proves that in fact it was the FIRST theatrically released Nickelodeon film to boast a PG-13 rating.

JFK (in spite of the fact that I'm pretty sure it's mostly bullshit and, like Nixon, strangely homophobic) is a pretty compelling movie. I also liked Platoon, and parts of the aforementioned Nixon.

Speaking of Lee Daniels, I have high (er, low) hopes for that movie he's making about a White House butler which features Robin Williams as Eisenhower, Liev Schriber as LBJ, John Cusack as Nixon, and Alan Rickman and Jane Fonda as the Reagans. The cast seems very strange to begin with, and if the movie is…
