Went to see the Cloony-fest Good Night, and Good Luck last night (and nicely linked for you there Sarah). Although it is centred around the events of Senator McCarthy and his communist witch-hunt, it is really about the American media in the fifties, and perhaps commenting on todays media as well. It certainly makes you glad to be living in a time and place where information and speech is free, and the media are able to reflect this (give or take the odd cartoon...).

Brilliantly shot in black and white with great use of light, and clever use of actual footage of the time make this a really interesting and enjoyable film.
