All The Movies Bill Clinton Watched In The White House: From 'Coyote Ugly' To 'Saving Private Ryan'
During Bill Clinton's time in office, the President watched a total of 171 movies, ranging from comedies to dramas to fantasy pictures. The President has eclectic taste in movies, and based on what he watched from 1993 to 2001, he's got pretty good taste, too. Thanks to some damn fine reporting, you can now discover every single movie Clinton watched as President.
Gizmodo obtained some documents through a Freedom of Information Act, providing them with every single movie Clinton watched while he was president. As Gizmodo points out, in 1996 and 1997, the President only watched a handful of pictures. I'm guessing he saw more movies than that, but then again, the President is a busy man — but never too busy for Demolition Man or Coyote Ugly.
Bill Clinton is just like the rest of us: sometimes he likes watching bad movies, too. A few of these titles I'd certainly want to hear Clinton's opinion on (Coyote Ugly, especially), but for the most part, he stuck with watching the major '90s titles you'd expect.
