Full Title: Ronald Reagan Film Career to be Honored in Washington DC by Motion Picture Industry and Reagan Centennial Celebration

I think this might be of interest to Ronald Reagan and film history fans here. Hopefully they will show some rare footage and never before seen material from his career.

I don't know who is in charge of the movie ping list. Maybe he/she can ping others. Thank you.

>>>>>In all, Reagan visited GE’s 135 research and manufacturing facilities and met some 250,000 people.

Reagan called his years at GE, an advanced course in political science.

Some of my favorite Reagan films are his early 1937-41 “B-movies”, before he graduated to “A’s.” He’s particularly breezy and likeable in those. I guess it’s good that he graduated from those, otherwise he might have been stuck as leads in serials or Monogram fodder. But I can’t help it, I still like the B-flicks.

Here is a one hour video full of good Reagan clips, bloopers,
old TV commercials he did, political speeches, tour of his home...etc ... highly recommended :-)

It’s worth downloading the 480p version using something
like the DownLoadhelper add-on for Firefox. Play the .flv
file using the free VLC video player.
