President Trump

Former president Donald Trump loves to watch his favorite movie, "Sunset Boulevard," over and over again, according to New York Magazine.

The film's screenplay was written by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett and was based on a story by Wilder and D.M. It's known for its dark, cynical tone and its commentary on the film industry and the pitfalls of fame. "A final fantasy, a fake movie set, is staged in the mansion's entryway. "A silent-picture star sidelined by the talkies, driven to madness, in denial over her faded celebrity," is how Nuzzi describes it. Read on to find out what the movie is, and why it may have a touch of symbolism in terms of where the former president finds himself now. The 1950 film, directed by Billy Wilder, is considered a classic of American cinema.
