Our Presidential Series wraps up with The American President, a fluffy, charming rom-com from Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing) and Rob Reiner (A Few Good Men)! It has an all-star cast, led by Michael Douglas and Annette Bening. The plot can be summed up in a simple logline: Can the President of the United States fall in love and build a relationship?

This is a fun, snappy movie, and it was a hit in its time. But how does it hold up? Has the ugliness of modern politics ruined our view of the subject entirely?

In this series, we've seen fictional and non-fictional presidents. None of them can match the nobility, brilliance, and complexity of our greatest president. With Lincoln, Steven Spielberg doesn't offer a comprehensive look at the great man--that would be impossible within the space of one movie. Instead, he shows us the final months of Lincoln's life, in which the president must grapple with Reconstruction and passage of the 13th Amendment. Daniel Day-Lewis, in an Oscar-winning performance, leads an all-star cast.

How accurate is this film to the real Lincoln? Where does it rank in Spielberg's filmography? As with every other film in this series, how does it hold up?

How does it hold up? How has 9/11 changed our opinion of its content? How does Harrison Ford's President James Marshall stack up to the other presidents in our series? Find out the answers and more on this episode!
