The White House got an upgrade in 1942 when a movie theater was added to the property. The space used to be a cloakroom, but it’s pretty safe to say that a movie theater is much more fun. President Obama and his wife Michelle, have been photographed enjoying a 3D movie in the space. The First Lady has also hosted movie screenings in the theater. The first movie to be shown in the White House was The Birth of a Nation, which was a heavily racist film that portrays the Ku Klux Klan to be the saviors of the United States. Woodrow Wilson hosted the screening of the film in 1915, in order to thank his supporters from the South.
