It helps to have one of history's greatest scoops as your factual inspiration, but journalism thrillers just don't get any better than All the President's Men. Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford are perfectly matched as (respectively) Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, whose investigation into the Watergate scandal set the stage for President Richard Nixon's eventual resignation. Their bestselling expose was brilliantly adapted by screenwriter William Goldman, and director Alan Pakula crafted the film into one of the most intelligent and involving of the 1970s paranoid thrillers. Featuring Jason Robards in his Oscar-winning role as Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, All the President's Men is the film against which all other journalism movies must be measured. --Jeff Shannon

 Wonderful, well-produced movie. June 25, 2009
Carol Grizzard
It's a great movie, well cast and directed. The second disc gives more background.
Increasingly, looks like a masterpiece June 21, 2009
modestproposal (Santa Monica, CA)
The more time passes, the more this looks and feels like a masterpiece. It's the rare movie that gets the world of journalism right, and gets Washington DC right. In short, it's a film unafraid to present the world as it is, not as Hollywood would have us glamorize or sensationalize it. Beyond that, though, it is an outstanding piece of movie craftsmanship. The plot is propelled forward through a blizzard of associations, names, phone calls, snippets of conversation, visual images -- which means, among other things, the movie has the nerve to trust the intelligence of its audience. The suspense is remarkable, the performances consistently outstanding. The actors are just compulsively watchable -- pretty much all of them. What the movie has to say about politics, and political corruption, and the sheer volatility of dangerous information is all still burningly relevant today -- in fact the perspective of time makes it more, not less, so. There's simply no way a piece this smart and this ambitious could get made in Hollywood today -- we've all been turned into dummies by the studio honchos and their obsession with multi-platform revenue streams. This is the real deal.
excellent service, quick vendor response April 17, 2009
Stanley Strauss (beverly hills, CA USA)
I have nothing but praise for all the dvd orders placed with you. The vendors are
quick to respond and ship, and the quality of the dvds are excellent, if not better than described. Many thanks!!!
 Good movie.. March 30, 2009
Emma Emmons
For someone who does not understand politics and how our "elected" officials could be dishonest, it gives a good insight.
....excellent rendition from the newspaper's point of view March 18, 2009
Sandra J. Avey (Atlanta, GA)
This all occurred over such a long period of time. Having lived it I often lost track of exactly what happened when. This movie spells it out succintly and in order of occurrence. Anyone who wonders what the whole story was and who said what should watch this particular movie.
