Movies Viewed at the White House: the Kennedy's

For the next few Saturdays—as I do a few odd reviews for the usual odd Saturday spot—I'll publish a list of the movies watched by various U.S. Presidents in the White House movie theater, a reconverted cloak room re-purposed during the Roosevelt (Franklin) Administration in which to watch films, host guests, have parties, a family den for the White House. A Man-Cave without any sort of nuclear ramifications.

The research was done by Gizmodo's Matt Walker, who gained access to the written notes of projectionist Paul Fischer.
