30 day movie challenge — day 4: favorite drama

Most everyone knows how much I love journalism, good journalism, and my favorite drama is what I consider to be the finest film on the subject. All the President's Men is based on reporters Woodward and Bernstein's uncovering of the Watergate scandal of Nixon's presidency. What these two reporters did is simply amazing. They investigated leads that snowballed into the biggest story of the last half of the 2oth century and what is astonishing about it is that no one else covering the White House was reporting on it. No one cared about this little story, but the reporters stuck with it and their series of stories brought down a president. 

Here's the trailer.
