Frost/Nixon (2008)

 
A dramatic retelling of the post-Watergate television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost and former president Richard Nixon.
 
Well-staged and intriguing docu-drama with a stellar cast, but taking quite some liberties with the historic facts.
 
 Maltin ****: "Incredible gripping drama conceived by Peter Morgan, whot wrote THE QUEEN, and so effectively reinvented as a movie - by Morgan and director Howard - that you'd never know it originated on the stage. Langella and Sheen are superb and utterly believable, even if you remember the real-life figures they portray."
