He watched 171 films during his tenure as President of the USA…
It was well known that Bill Clinton was a film fan and he often spoke about the film room that was available to him in the White House.
According to records collected by Gizmodo under the Freedom of Information Act, Clinton watched a total of 171 films during his eight year stint as President of America.
However, Gizmodo remark that the documents they received are heavily redacted in places showing the Clinton only watched three movies in 1996 and seven in 1997 (maybe he had other interests during this period?).
So is Clinton a film buff with an eye for old classics or did he give in to mainstream temptation?
Well it would seem the mainstream lure was too much for Clinton as the majority of movies on the list are popular 90’s films.
