(21,127 posts)12. Gabriel over the whitehouse 1933
Walter Houston as a corrupt president who goes into a coma and wakes up being a super president his cabinet are Koch bros types who basically control the whitehouse. This 80 year old movie shows things have not changed much with brought and paid for politicians.
I looked and you can watch this movie on YouTube and it shows up on TCM from time to time.
If anyone watches it I would be curious to hear your reaction.

If you want some laughs, check out Bullworth. It's not great cinema and has its share
