BARACK OBAMA TALKS FILM: Presidential candidate loves 'Godfather,' Angela Basset'; says Will Smith could play him in biopic.
*As the presidential campaign trail trudges on, "Entertainment Tonight" pulled Democratic candidate Barack Obama to the side and asked him to list his favorite films and movie stars.
His top three films are all Oscar winners — "The Godfather," "The Godfather: Part II" and "Lawrence of Arabia." Angela Bassett was named among his favorite actors, along with Jimmy Stewart, Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, Meryl Streep and Susan Sarandon.
Obama has already mentioned that Will Smith would be the perfect actor to play him if a movie is ever made about his life. "Will and I have talked about this because he has the ears," the Illinois senator said in an interview, part two of which will air tonight.
The White House hopeful said he doesn't have much free time to watch movies on the campaign trail. Even eating three meals a day is a rarity, he said.
"Sometimes when you're out in remote areas, there's not much you can do," said Obama. "You go for a burger, that's safe. If you start getting fancy you could get into trouble. If you're in a place like Iowa or Wisconsin there's gonna be cheese on just about everything. If you start eating too much junk you'll never survive."
