All The Presidents Men
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein have gone down in journalism history for their relentless pursuit and and eventual breaking of the Watergate scandal. Devotion + Determination + Follow Through = Great Journalism. These two men went up against the entirety of the Nixon administration, and won. No other news organizations would go near this story for fear of receiving the same sharp criticism as the Washington Post. Furthermore, they stuck to their journalistic principles throughout the entirety of their multi-year long investigation. Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford did a spectacular job. It's very easy to see why these two actors are considered to be near the top of the "A" list. Years later Bernstein and Woodward were interviewed, and after having seen it, you get a good sense of just how accurate the film's depiction of this event really is.
