The American President (1995)

A new-to-D.C. environmental lobbyist makes an immediate impression on the widower President. Soon they're trying to figure out how to navigate the relationship without causing damage to his political reputation.

I saw this back in the '90s and really enjoyed the charming performances. It felt like an honest look at how tricky living under the spotlight can be, especially when your concerns are not just for yourself and family, but for an entire country. But now that our reality is that of a thrice-married leader who paid a porn star to keep quiet, was convicted of sexual assault, has been accused of fomenting an insurrection, and has so many other accusations against him it's nearly unbelievable, a widower dating a single woman is downright wholesome.

Enjoyable, but so dated it might as well star Astaire and Rogers.
