The Presidents of the United States series consists of a set of small sized portraits and scenes from Hollywood movies whose main characters are both real and fictitious US presidents.

No other national cinematography worshiping its leaders comes close to compete with the vast representation of the president of the USA. A broad range of biopics with different degrees of loyalty to history coexists with an abundance of (science) fiction movies where the president surpasses the role of an extraordinarily charismatic leader to become an authentic superhero; a close to mythical being that liberates the free world from the threats of communism, fundamentalist terrorism, or Martian invasion.

The series unites portraits and instants illustrating the bravery, extreme boldness, or pragmatic cynicism of these presidents: Lincoln represented by Daniel Day Lewis, Merkin Muffley by Peter Sellers, Bruce Greenwood as John F. Kennedy, Anthony Hopkins as Richard Nixon, Harrison Ford as James Marshall, Jack Nicholson in the role of James Dale, Morgan Freeman as President Beck, Bill Pullman in Independence Day, etc.
