After contacting Salem News, Gloucester Times, Boston Globe, NY Times, and the Standard Times, the latter finally came through.
Andy Pomolonis of the Standard Times based out of Newbedford, MA loved All the President's Men, naturally. He claimed it was the movie that "kicked off the whole rush to be a journalist." Pomolonis said knowingly that "everybody wanted to be the next Woodward and Bernstein."
His second favorite was a 1931 film directed by Lewis Milestone simply because of it is a "classic."
His third favorite was Absence of Malice, an 80's film starring Paul Newman and Sally Field.
All the President's Men clearly stands out above the others that Pomolonis remembers.
