Survey: The Best (and Worst) Movie Presidents

We’ve already had a president who once worked in Tinsel Town.

Now, we’re watching another presidential candidate (Donald Trump) with a string of TV and film cameos trying to replace our Celebrity-in-Chief (President Barack Obama).

None of them can match some of Hollywood’s best fictional presidents.

Fandango.com just polled readers on the very best, and most fearsome, fictional presidents. The movie ticketing firm queried more than a 1,000 movie lovers. The question?

Which fictional U.S. movie presidents and presidential contenders they would most like to see in the Oval Office? And which ones would they pray never gets near the White House?

For every strong, determined leader (like Harrison Ford in “Air Force One”), respondents pointed to others who would give them sleepless nights. Paging Charlie Sheen (even if he was just playing a part).

And one faux president even inserted himself into the current campaign. Thank you, Mr. Mike Judge of “Beavis & Butt-Head” fame.

Here’s the official Fandango mashup.
