ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN

Now more than ever. This 1976 Alan J. Pakula film, with screenplay by William Goldman based on the book and Washington Post reporting by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, has been one of my favorite movies ever since it was released. Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, playing Woodward and Bernstein as they unravel the twisted but crucially important threads of the Richard Nixon White House scandal eventually deemed Watergate, are fabulous – as is virtually every actor, and every scene, in this perfect movie. And newspapers are, once again, as important a part of the fabric of democracy as they were in the Watergate era. Watch and remember. And reflect.
