Obama's Gift
Slashfilm has a list of the movies President Barack Obama gave British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Overall, not a bad list. Includes:
Citizen KaneI visited Amazon.com and tallied up what it would cost to purchase all of these movies, assuming Obama purchased the special editions.
The Godfather
Casablanca
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
Star Wars, Ep. IV
The grand total? $418.26. Compare that to the gifts Brown gave the president.
Special relationship, indeed.

I like the meme they are spouting that he was too "overwhelmed" to anything other than send a page running over to Borders to pick up a boxed set. My bet is he "repurposed" the gift; probably had it sitting on the nightstand.
"What? The PM of Britain? NOW?! Crap, what do I give him...uh....uh....oh yeah! Quick, wrap this up! Wait, wait. Take the price tag off first!"
Pres Obama, a true statesman.
