These ten films of the past and present era are all guilty of either threatening the President of the United States in some direct or implicative manner, or the government, who may or may not have withheld secret information for what was presumably America's own safety. This is the list the government doesn't want you to see!

11.Strange Brew, 1983
Okay, so my last list of the "10 Best Beer Movies" left some beer lovers puking that I left off the Rick Moranis/Dave Thomas beer buddy comedy, Strange Brew. I feel bad about the omission, and together with the fact that most of my lists are considered nonsensical anyway, Strange Brew gets the #11 spot.

10.Wilson, 1944
An autobiographical film about President Woodrow Wilson, this was not a dangerous indictment of Wilson or the president at the time, Franklin D. Roosevelt. In fact the only thing dangerous about this film was that it was a Hollywood first. The first presidential film ever made, and of course, it was a gushing politically-safe tribute that won five Academy Awards.

9.Nixon, 1995
This was in the 1990s, back when Oliver Stone made relevant movies. This movie had to be a threat in that it both indicted the former president for his politics and humanized him as a human being. But by 1995, one year after the president's death, old wounds had been healed and old secrets of national security were passed around freely.

8.The Path To 9/11, 2006
A controversial miniseries that was unfortunately aired on September 11th, 2006, and all but indicted the Clinton administration for its dangerously lax attitude toward al-Qaeda. The fact that the producers credited the screenplay as true and based on the 9/11 commission report certainly didn't help matters. ABC panicked and edited parts of the show to appease angry politicians.

7.Wag The Dog, 1997
This political satire starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert Deniro told the fictitious story of a fake war created to distract the American public from a presidential sex scandal. The joke was on us--one year later President Clinton really was embroiled in a sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky and conveniently took part in three aggressive military actions: a bombing campaign in Iraq, missile strikes in Sudan and Afghanistan and a bombing campaign against Serbia. After the wars and scandals, Wag The Dog suddenly became a highly requested film all over the world.

6.Head Of State, 2003, Deep Impact, 1998, The Fifth Element, 1997
Interesting that a serious film about a black president has never quite been made. Chris Rock tried to play the presidential race card making a presidential comedy in Head Of State. The Fifth Element and Deep Impact, which both depicted black presidents, were ironically classified as science-fiction pieces. But hey, at least some seeds have been planted. The "White" house may not want you to entertain the concept of a black president, but at least now these otherwise lackluster films have got you thinking.

5.JFK, 1991
Remember, Oliver Stone made statements back in the 1990s. (I guess midlife crises does fill a man with hope, thus explaining the syrupy World Trade Center) Nevertheless, the "true" story of Jim Garrison's John F. Kennedy assassination investigation, prompted many moviegoers to see Stone theory as fact, and filled the public mind with many dangerous ideas. JFK was partly for responsible a 1992 congressional act to release age old classified documents pertaining to the case.

4.Triumph Of The Will, 1935
A movie for Nazis, about Nazis and by Nazis. Not a favorite among American politicians. This propaganda film by Leni Riefenstahl was actually quite innovative in cinematic technique and is unofficially known as the greatest propaganda film in history. But you know a movie is bound to upset politicians in Washington when Adolf Hitler is credited as an executive producer.

3.Contact, 1997
This 1997 Robert Zemeckis sci-fi film was forgettable except for the fact that President Bill Clinton had a cameo--and one that was much to his shock and eventually, his protest. News footage of Clinton was used and digitally manipulated to make it appear as if he is talking about aliens. Was it ethical to alter and fictionalize existing footage of the president? Was the White House justified in taking issue? Did Clinton at least get paid for his appearance?

2.Fahrenheit 911, 2004
Michael Moore did something amazing with this effective and groundbreaking documentary. Forget the fact that it became the highest grossing documentary of all time and pioneered free speech for a new film making age. Fahrenheit 911's biggest claim is that it ruthlessly exposed the folly of the Bush administration and then miraculously got the President reelected.

1. Death Of A President, 2006
If you thought Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911 was too Bush-friendly, then consider 2006's fictionalized account of President George Bush's death in Death Of A President. (Yes you actually see him die) Say what you will about artistic expression, freedom of speech, and national security; why is it that if I made a death threat against the president of the United States I would get arrested and yet director Gabriel Range, by actually filming his homicidal fantasy, gets media attention and worldwide publicity? It must be true what they say...it's all about how much money you have and how much you're willing to put up for your vision. (That is, of the President's death)
