Though praised for his acting in the 1998 film, John Travolta's southern-born President Jack Stanton was a jerk.

Hail to the Chie...From John Travolta's Bill Clinton knock-off to Morgan Freeman's crisis-managing Tom Beck, Hollywood has elected dozens of actors into cinematic office. In honor of Presidents Day, check out the very best and worst commanders in chief to ever hit the big screen. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Universal, Dreamworks, Paramount) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
BEST 12. Robin W...His role wasn't big, but Robin Williams' hilarious portrayal of Teddy Roosevelt in "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" is definitely memorable. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Twentieth Century Fox) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
BEST 11. Bruce G...Bruce Greenwood stars as President John F. Kennedy in 2000's "Thirteen Days," a film based on the actual events surrounding 1962’s Cuban Missile Crisis. Greenwood was praised for his ability to capture Kennedy's accent perfectly. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: New Line Cinema) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
BEST 10. Kevin K...Kevin Kline dupes the entire world into thinking he is actually the president in 1993's "Dave." Despite having no real political experience, Dave is able to win over the affections of the country and save a homeless shelter. Kudos. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Warner Bros.)

BEST 9. Jeff Bri...Long before John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running-mate, Jeff Bridges shocked the country with his choice of a woman (Joan Allen) for vice president in 2000's "The Contender." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Dreamworks) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
BEST 8. Anthony ...Anthony Hopkins gives a stirring performance as flawed former U.S. President Richard Nixon in the Oliver Stone-directed biography “Nixon.” "The isolation of Tony is what struck me. The loneliness. I felt that was the quality that always marked Nixon," Stone told Newsweek in 1985. "He played repression perfectly in 'Remains of the Day,' and there was a lot of Nixon in that, too." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Cinergi Pictures) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
BEST 7. Bill Pul...Pullman reportedly read “The Commanders” by Bob Woodward and watched the documentary film “The War Room” in preparation for his role as former Persian Gulf War fighter pilot and President of the United States Thomas J. Whitmore in 1996’s “Independence Day.” The research paid off. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Twentieth Century Fox) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
BEST 6. Michael ...Michael Douglas stars as President Andrew Shepherd, a Democrat on the hunt for re-election who falls for environmental lobbyist Sydney Wade, played by Annette Benning. Ah, yes — love on the campaign trail. Is there anything better? —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Columbia Pictures) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
BEST 5. Harrison...Harrison Ford’s role as hijacked President James Marshall in 1997's "Air Force One" is one of his most memorable movie roles outside of Indiana Jones. Just remember to stay off his plane. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Columbia Pictures) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
BEST 4. Morgan F...Morgan Freeman was tasked with stopping a comet from destroying Earth as President Tom Beck in 1999’s “Deep Impact.” We'd vote for him. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Paramount) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
BEST 3. Josh Bro...Josh Brolin’s dead-on portrayal of President George W. Bush in the Oilver Stone-directed biopic “W.” earned him several award nominations. “I had an opportunity to meet Bush early on and decided not to,” the actor told Reel Talks’ Jeffrey Lyons. “I would have loved him to be a technical adviser on the show.” —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Lionsgate) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
BEST 2. Daniel D...In typical Daniel Day-Lewis style, the actor completely immersed himself in the role of Abraham Lincoln for this 2012 film. Under the direction of Steven Spielberg, the actor turned in one of the greatest (and potentially Oscar-winning) roles of his career. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Dreamworks Pictures) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
BEST 1. Frank La...Frank Langella took on the role of fallen President Richard Nixon in the wake of the 1972 Watergate scandal for 2008’s “Frost/Nixon.” He picked up an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of the president, but did not take home the trophy. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Universal Studios) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.

WORST 8. Peter S...Peter Sellers stunned as three characters in 1964’s “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,” one of which included the nearly-useless and incredibly indecisive Commander-in-Chief Merkin Muffley. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Sony) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
WORST 7. Benjami...Something about the 16th President of the United States fighting vampires just didn't sit well with audiences. And compared to Daniel Day-Lewis's spot-on portrayal, Walker just looks silly. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: 20th Century Fox) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
WORST 6. John Tr...Though praised for his acting in the 1998 film, John Travolta's southern-born President Jack Stanton was a jerk. The married leader has affairs with several women and is accused of impregnating a 16-year-old girl. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Universal) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
WORST 5. Jack Ni...The only thing President James Dale, played by Jack Nicholson, wants is peace with the homicidal aliens in 1996's "Mars Attacks!" Unfortunately, he just gets killed and puts the entire country in danger. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Warner Home Video) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
WORST 4. Donald ...The president in 1981's "Escape from New York" definitely did more harm than good. Crime rates are so bad that New York City as a whole has been turned into a maximum security prison... but that's not all. He manages to get kidnapped after Air Force One crashes, making hero Snake Plissken's (Kurt Russell) job of saving the country even harder. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: MGM Home Entertainment) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
WORST 3. Billy B...In the short amount of time he was featured in the movie, Billy Bob Thornton's unnamed President of the United States managed to damage relationships with Britain by attempting to seduce a member of the prime minister's (Hugh Grant) staff. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Universal Pictures) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
WORST 2. Gene Ha...Nothing good can come from a leader with "Absolute Power," and Gene Hackman's character, President Allen Richmond, in this 1997 film proves just that. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Warner Home Video) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
WORST 1. Donald ...As President Bennett, Donald Moffat's shady antics start an illegal war between drug lords from the United States and Columbia. He then tries to pin it on someone else. Great leadership skills. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Paramount) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
