I obviously have not seen those movies with Prez. portrayals. Why couldn’t you have chosen The American President with Michael Douglas or Dave with Kevin Kline?! Then there’s prez. related ones like Guarding Tess with Shirley MacLaine and In The Line of Fire with Clint Eastwood. Oh – I could go on and on – but it won’t change the fact that I haven’t watched #1, #4 or #7 :0(
70 points is pretty awesom 🙂 I loved Guarding Tess. It was when I was going through my Nic Cage phase.
Oh my…I know a few but not all of them!

3. I’m a big Rocky fan and I’m pretty sure it’s Rocky III
5. Miracle
6. Could it be Top Gun?
7. Air Force One
8. Apollo 13
I should know number 9 but it isn’t coming to mind and I can only visualize James Cagney singing in number 10…so that’s it for me!
50 points! Rocky 3 was the one with Mr. T. I hate boxing but for some reason love Rocky!
I’m not good at movie quizzes, but I’ll give it a try.
