Hey,

Question--I was wondering if anyone knows what music and/or movies (could even be genres) these presidents liked?:

JFK (I mean musically; it's well known he loved James Bond films)
LBJ
Nixon (He hosted Guy Lombardo at the White House but that doesn't necessarily mean he liked him)
Ford
Carter
Reagan (outside of his own movies)
George H.W. Bush

I ask because they're the real 'modern' presidents and it's easy to find out what music or movies Clinton, Bush Jr., and Obama like

Woodrow Wilson loved The Birth of a Nation about how the Ku Klux Klan was responsible for America's greatness.

Jimmy Carter screened the X-rated Midnight Cowboy at the White House.
