Wait. You've never seen All the President's Men or Network? You work for a network! Ok, go rent All the President's Men right now. I'll wait. It is a fantastic movie -- Robert Redford in his 70s hotness, Dustin Hoffman in his 70s shlubbiness, and Jason Robards as the gruff editor.

I know - I am SO LAME because I haven't seen either of these movies. You think I would own these DVDs or something! Sigh.

This is a fun little exercise. I'm totally stealing it.
Of the ones you haven't seen, I really, really recommend All About Eve. It's fabulous. Chinatown is great, too.
