Which portrayal of a world leader in movies/tv do you find most impressive?

Norman Rodway as Adolf Hitler in The Empty Mirror

I thought President Palmer was the first sympathetic POTUS.

I loved the King in The King’s Speech (both kings).

I have been told Idi Amin is portrayed to a T in The Last King Of Scotland.
My choice would be Gandhi.

I’m going with @marinelife for a recent portrayal.

I liked Martin Sheen in the West Wing.

Don’t know if you mean an actor portraying a real leader or a fictional character, but I would say Frank Langella’s Nixon in Frost/Nixon or Josh Brolin in W were two of the best portrayals of a real leader.

I would’ve thought unless otherwise stipulated that “real” leaders should’ve been taken as the intent, but anyway.

@ucme That was what I assumed but others haven’t.

@janbb Me :-)

@rebbel Well, you’re just a crazy Dutchman so what can we expect?

The philosophic and romantic portrayal of Che Guevara in Evita makes me cringe. He was a hard man.

Well it wouldn’t be the same if fluther didn’t throw up the odd misunderstanding.
Cheers folks, good stuff :¬)

Poll Pot from the Killing Fields.

@filmfan I would say Whitaker for sure! He’s amazing. Also, Gibson portraying Sgt. Moore in We Were Soldiers.
