The 35th American President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was born 92 years ago today, which makes this the perfect occasion to count down memorable screen incarnations of the nation’s favorite playboy head of state and mysterious martyr. Enjoy John in all his forms and incarnations with our 7 Stately Screen Versions of JFK.

Clone High

Having him play a preppy high school heartthrob almost seems too easy.

Watchmen

Wait, wasn’t Nixon president in this movie?

An American Carol

Wait for the clip after the trailer, then JFK gets meta.

Timequest

Tragically, there don’t appear to be any trailers of this film floating around online, but the premise – obviously – is about traveling back in time to prevent President Kennedy’s assassination.

Forrest Gump

Well, obviously this bumbling period-plundering had to have a scene with Kennedy.

13 Days

We love how one of the most credible screen JFKs was played by Canadian thespian Bruce Greenwood.

Eat Your Makeup

John Waters’ first 16mm film, about kidnapped young women being forced to model to death, involves JFK somehow (evidence above).
