The TVI Take
1976 Best Picture nominee. Woodward and Bernstein's investigation of Watergate.
Exceptional cognitive demands, the viewer must track the investigation's logic as the journalists do. Among the highest educational value of any film: it teaches how investigative journalism actually works. Redford and Hoffman make procedural rigor thrilling.
