The Top 5 Best and Worst Movie Presidents

The Best:

#1. Tiny Lister in The Fifth Element. Once you've stared down a giant ball of evil, terrorists are a breeze by comparison.

#2. Harrison Ford in Air Force One. In the event of a nuclear attack, he'll distribute lead-lined refrigerators to everyone.

#3. Bill Pullman in Independence Day. He can plow the road for us any time he likes (yeah, we could have posted "the speech," but you know it by heart already, right?).

#4. Jeff Bridges in The Contender. Mainly because we love the way he keeps messing with his kitchen staff.

#5. Terry Crews in Idiocracy. How many times have you wanted your favorite president to do exactly what he does in this scene?

The Worst:

#1. Peter Sellers in Dr. Strangelove. If the world ever recovers from the nuclear war he passively unleashed, there's no way he's getting re-elected.

#2. "Arnold Schwarzenegger" in The Simpsons Movie. Elected to lead, not to read.

#3. Jack Nicholson in Mars Attacks! For failure to recognize that anything with a face that resembles a skull is obviously hostile.

#4. Donald Moffat in Clear and Present Danger. When Harrison Ford chews you out, you know you deserve it.

#5. James Cromwell in The Sum of All Fears. If Ben Affleck has to do your job for you, just resign already.
