- All the President’s Men (1976) Let’s not get cute or overthink this. This is the best movie about journalism ever made, and it’s not even close. The nail-biting (even though you already know the ending) gold standard is the reason many journalists reading this went into the business.
- Broadcast News (1987) This hilarious satire hits closer to real-life network TV than you might realize. Holly Hunter’s character, Jane, who is loosely based on former CBS News president Susan Zirinsky, is one of the richest characters ever written for the screen, while William Hurt (the dumb but pretty anchor) and Albert Brooks (the smart but awkward reporter) are brilliant.
- Spotlight (2015) The true story of The Boston Globe’s investigation into sexual abuse in the Catholic church is this generation’s “All the President’s Men,” showing relentless and tedious shoe-leather reporting, while going up against a powerful organization.
- Network (1976) This bitterly funny movie about TV news is more than 40 years old, yet has a message that is as powerful now as ever. Seriously, Howard Beale’s legendary “I’m as mad as hell” speech would fit in perfectly on today’s TV, where anger and polarization trump journalism and reporting.
