August 6, 2003 -- Our presidents may be different as night and day, but they're united when it comes to movies - it turns out that war flicks, shoot-'em-ups and light romantic comedies are tops in the White House. In fact, "High Noon" the classic western with Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly, ranks as the one of the most-screened films at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. over the past 50 years.

Bill Clinton watched it 20 times, ...
Wishing he had the... guts to face up to the bad guys.
Apparently, clinton gained nothing from watching the film.

I wonder how many times Slick screened "Deep Throat" - probably in triple figures.

Bill Clinton watched it 20 times... What they don't tell you is that he was inspired by Lloyd Bridges' cowardly, woman-beating deputy. ;)

"Bill Clinton watched it 20 times,..."That's only because he didn't know how to remove it from the VCR and insert his well-worn "Debbie Does Dallas" video.
