All The President’s Men

— Imagine this for second, considering our day and age: Two journalists with a spine and real conviction, unravel scandal in a government’s highest office, and follow the story for weeks until it is completely and truthfully told and the responsible people are held accountable.

Imagine that. Functioning journalism.

(1976) Director: Alan J. Pakula. Screenplay: William Goldman. Cast: Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Warden, Martin Balsam, Hal Holbrook, Jason Robards.
