All the President's Men (1976)

THESE JOURNALISTS GOTTA BREAK THE CASE. You know the drill: Coffee! Cigarettes! Handsome men looking mildly disheveled but you and I both know this case is SO CLOSE TO BREAKING. This is obviously a classic and honestly if you haven't seen it, I think you're gonna want to. I mean it's WATERGATE people.

Two green reporters and rivals working for the Washington Post, Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman), research the botched 1972 burglary of the Democratic Party Headquarters at the Watergate apartment complex. With the help of a mysterious source, code-named Deep Throat (Hal Holbrook), the two reporters make a connection between the burglars and a White House staffer. Despite dire warnings about their safety, the duo follows the money all the way to the top.
