When it comes to being cultured, former-President Barack Obama was king, constantly recommending books and films to the people of America.

Since leaving the White House, various fun tidbits of information about the Obama family have been released, including their film viewing habits.

“There was never a film they didn’t request to watch,” one studio executive told The Hollywood Reporter, adding how they routinely requested awards screeners, including La La Land.

Another source added how the family even requested the unfavourably reviewed Monster Trucks several days before leaving the White House.

Interestingly, Michelle and Barack’s daughter, Malia, is currently interning at Harvey Weinstein’s film company, who recently released Gold, The Founder, and Oscar nominee Lion.

An executive added: “Bill Clinton was famously interested as well in movies, but that was in the DVD era, so more often than not, he would ask for DVDs. George W. not so much.”

Despite Oscar season being in full force, Donald Trump’s administration has only requested two films: Finding Dory and the James Franco/Bryan Cranston comedy Why Him?.

Meanwhile, throughout his time as President, Obama recommended over 79 books. Trump’s favourite book is reportedly the Bible, followed closely by his very own Art of the Deal.
