Frost/Nixon (2008)

Powerful corrupt president talks to journo about scandals - can that really be an interesting movie? I was pretty sure Frost/Nixon (dir. Ron Howard) would not be for me, but somehow, I found myself engaged in the heated communication between the two protagonists. Even though there are a few bad, sentimental parts, the acting of Michael Sheen & Frank Langella - the tension between them! - was top notch, and this is the true strength of the movie.
