Paper Trail


Got a kick out of Netflix's Top 10 Newspaper Films on DVD list over on Romenesko. I've seen them all -- save for "The Pelican Brief" -- but as enjoyable as "State of Play" and "Zodiac" were, I could watch Robert Redford in "All the President's Men" on a loop for the rest of my life!

See the Top 10 streaming films -- where two of my faves that are missing from this list -- HERE.

 Netflix Top 10 Newspaper Films on DVD

  1. State of Play (2009)
  2. Zodiac (2007)
  3. Citizen Kane (1941)
  4. All the President’s Men (1976)
  5. The Killing Fields (1984)
  6. Shattered Glass (2003)
  7. The Pelican Brief (1993)
  8. His Girl Friday (1940)
  9. Absence of Malice (1981)
 10. The Year of Living Dangerously (1982)

kenneth, you've never seen the pelican brief? check out the cast talent on imdb. if you like mystery/suspense/thriller/juliarobertsy movies, it's a must. even 20 years later, it stands up. plese rent it soon and let us know what you think...

Interesting; most of them have to do with journalists. Hmmm? did you cull this list on your own and fob it off as Netflix's doing, or are people actually interested in this dying breed?
