2. Good Night, and Good Luck.
Mr. Clooney, Mr. Clooney. What a directorial endeavor!
Good Night and Good Luck. sparks under Clooney in both a supporting role and in the director's chair, as he brings Edward R. Murrow to life through the sensationally well-spoken and meditative David Stratharin. And it'd be a sin not to mention Robert Elswit's picture-perfect cinematography, as the only feature on the list to be shot in black and white and still probably be the most beautiful film noted. Surrounded by a masterclass of a cast including Patricia Clarkson, Robert Downey Jr., Frank Langella, and Jeff Daniels,
Good Night and Good Luck. is a fantastic reflection on Murrow's real-life (and particularly classy) news assault on Senator McCarthy during the Red Scare, ultimately bringing his grip on the American public to nothing more than a loose, gummy latex glove. If you're looking for a bit of an entertaining history romp, you'd do well to go out and find
Good Night and Good Luck., which scored six Oscar nominations and critical acclaim. http://youtu.be/5N3WJXK2PAM
