Stand-Up Reagan (1989)
Interesting Observations
This is just Ronnie making a lot of jokes about the Soviet Union. Other clips where you can see the charm and charisma that got him into Hollywood and finally the White House. It is so very different from these days where if you were to see a compilation of George W. Bush's jokes they would be that funny or articulate. A collection of his bloopers would be funny. What I find most interesting about this video is that there was suspicion that Mr. Reagan wasn't all there towards the middle/end of his presidency and you notice him telling the same jokes with just slight wording adjustment. No matter what your political affiliation watch this video and you understand why he was called The Great Communicator.
Bedtime for Bonzo (1951)
Absurd but Oddly Historical
In this film, only remembered because it stars a president, Ronald Regan as a teacher must disprove the theory of his girlfriends father that people are either born bad or born good. so in order to disprove this theory Ronnie takes a chimp under his wing to teach it right and wrong "To Do Good Without Hope Of Reward! To Avoid Wrong Without Fear Of Punishment! A CHANCE MY FATHER NEVER HAD" this film taken under the context of the modern political system is quite funny with the evolution debate still going on and the symbol for the republican party trying to teach a monkey human feeling. This film is not great! but it is entertaining for its historical relevance(?), well the Ramones did get the title Bonzo Goes To Bitberg from this movie so thats one good thing.
