The Perfect Movie
For whatever reason, Air Force One passengers are huge fans of the film Fargo. Everyone on board watched the Coen Brothers’ film during Clinton’s 1996 campaign for a second term. Helen Thomas, a well-known journalist, dubbed it “the record-holder of the Longest Playing Film Abroad Air Force One.”
Clinton stated that it had been played at least 25 times and that his staff had been repeating lines from the dark comedy. It didn’t matter if the movie was worth the hype or not; it got its name on the lips of influential individuals.
