Another I saw recently was
The Dead Zone, a Stephen King adaptation (1983), Starring Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen. A teacher (Walken) after a car accident gains the power to see images of the future by touching people. At a political appearance, he shakes hands with a presidential candidate (Martin Sheen) and sees a vision of him in the White House, a fanatic who will unnecessarily start a nuclear war.
This is for me one of the best King movie adaptations (along with
Needful Things) with very sympathetic and well-acted characters. And a beautiful and suspenseful musical score. In a different way than the movie
Dave, it makes you think about the kind of person you want in the White House.
