Sight and Sound Movie List - Richard Nixon



I don't watch movies for enjoyment. I don't watch them to escape. I watch them to atone.

#1: JFK  (1991, dir. Oliver Stone)
Kennedy. Some days, I feel like I'm the one who killed him. Others, I feel like he never died. 
#2: Nixon (1995, dir. Oliver Stone)
A pack of lies. That are all true.
#3: TV Miniseries The Kennedys (2011, Brian Gibson Supervising Producer)
Kennedy.
#4: Thirteen Days, featuring John F. Kennedy (2000, dir. Roger Donaldson)
KENNEDY!
#5: All the President's Men (1976, dir. Alan Pakula)
They know nothing of my work.
#6: Dick (1999, dir. Andrew Fleming)
It's funny because the title is "Dick."
#7: Red Dawn (1984, dir. John Milius)
COMMUNISM MUST DIE!
#8: J.F.K.: Reckless Youth (1993, dir. Harry Winer)
KENNEDY!!!
#9: Frost/Nixon (2008, dir. Ron Howard)
Well, that was a mistake.

  1. Oliver Stone's movie Nixon "all true"??
    I think you should drop the remote and read a little more. Oliver Stones movie Nixon is a joke and a as far as most Historians are concerned.
    BTW, a very illuminating documentary about the Kennedy's is airing right now. Try to catch it. That family was something other than what it appeared to be.
