My favorite ever movie about a President is Secret Honor, a one-man film of Philip Baker Hall who has never been better as Richard Nixon drunkenly monologuing into a tape recorder about his life and career, giving a picture of a complex if ultimately evil person. Directed by the great Robert Altman. Re-watching now, in a #Criterion DVD.
