VIDEO : From John Adams To Barack Obama, Hollywood Loves The Lives Of Presidents

The movie "Southside With You" gives Americans a glimpse of what the first date was like for the Obamas. The movie takes place in Chicago, and follows a young Michelle Robinson, who is reluctant to go on a date with her law firm's summer associate, Barack Obama. According to CNN, this is not the first movie about the life of an American president. HBO's 2008 miniseries "John Adams" stands out as an exceptional work, as it follows not only Adams, played by Paul Giamatti, but also his wife Abigail, played by Laura Linney. Produced by Tom Hanks, the nine-hour work meticulously recreates the period and language in ways that are both fascinating and challenging.
