Great Britain. :-P

Though, in seriousness, are we here (movie lovers all) going to really put down American cinema as unworthy of being presented as a gift to a foreign dignitary? Maybe if they were given as reels of film instead of DVD we wouldn't look so poorly on the decision?

Responses:

What if it turns out that Brown is a huge movie fan and the DVDs are his 25 most absolute favorite movies of all time? nm - Jim Mar 11, 09:47 1
- The British complaints seem to indicate he is not a cinephile. -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 09:55
I think appropriate is what we're going for here. Gordon Brown can access Amazon UK for that if he is so inclined. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 11, 09:34
Here's the DVDs: -- (link) - JaxSean Mar 11, 09:33 [Image] 17
- Does 2001 quality as American Cinema? And it's "Sunset Blvd.", not "Boulevard". -- nm - Mop Mar 11, 09:41

  - That's what I was thinking. Is that their top 25? I haven't checked. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 09:40 1

- Nice. Next year's presents Halo 3, GTA4 while Brown, I imagine, will give King Henry the Fourth's bejewelled sword. -- nm - Loyola Mar 11, 09:37 3
  - Guess who'll get more enjoyment out of that trade? -- nm - Mop Mar 11, 09:38 2
    - The sword would be hours of fun. He could just sit in the Oval Office all day pretending to knight stuff. "I dub thee 'Sir Couch'." "I dub thee 'Sir Picture Frame'." -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 09:41 1

- He wanted to give Brown the new Star Trek movie, but he has to wait till release. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 09:37 1
  - That'd set relations back centuries. -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 09:38
- "Forget it Gordon. Its Chinatown." -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 09:36
- The Patriot?! - HdnAgnda Mar 11, 09:35 4
  - Notting Hill. -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 09:36 3
    - Love, Actually. -- nm - Mop Mar 11, 09:38

      - Those DVD's mean nothing to Obama! -- nm - Loosi SI Mar 11, 09:41
- Not a bad list. -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 09:34
I wonder what Obama did with those 50 Canadian songs? -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 09:32 1
- Put them on his iPod then rated them at zero? -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 09:36
Obama's feelings for Brown and the UK? Please don't tell me we gave him Beaches. -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 09:32
Maybe possibly not giving a gift Brown could just buy at Amazon.uk - Will Hunting Mar 11, 09:32 4
- plus the pen came from the sister ship of the Resolute, which Queen Victoria turned part of into a desk that sits in the Oval Office - crash davis Mar 11, 09:34 2
  - it wasn't a pen, but a pen holder -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 09:36 1
    - thats what I thought, but so many people here said pen...the holder will sit perfectly on the desk -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 09:37
- At least the kids' gifts could only be bought at the White House gift shop. -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 09:34
