Tonight's Must-See

"All the President's Movies," 4 p.m., Bravo. For 33 years, Paul Fischer was the White House projectionist. He showed more than 5,000 films to seven presidents — and took careful notes about them. George W. Bush was influenced by the war film "Black Hawk Down," Fischer says. His father, George Bush, was perplexed by the baseball film, "Field of Dreams." John Kennedy had a bed in the screening room. Richard Nixon watched "Patton" during the week he invaded Cambodia. Jimmy Carter's first White House film was "All the President's Men," about Watergate and Nixon's downfall. This documentary interviews offspring (Ron Reagan, Steve Ford, Susan Eisenhower, Lynda Bird Johnson) and actors. It also includes video footage that director David O. Russell shot when he screened "Three Kings" for Clinton. "All the President's Films" is narrated by "The West Wing" star Martin Sheen, who plays a key role in Bravo's makeover. On Monday, the cable channel will start rerunning "The West Wing" from the beginning.
