Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005)

Good Night and Good Luck is a sleek movie about Edward R. Murrow's public battle with the notorious Senator McCarthy. It uses quite a bit of authentic archival footage in original black and white. As a consequence, the whole movie is filmed in black and white to match, and it's an excellent choice. The movie looks really good. It's more relevant today than it even could have predicted. In 2019, journalists, on TV and otherwise, play an extremely important role in holding government officials accountable. Maybe it serves as a lesson on how to take put a stop to Donald Trump.
