Good Night, and Good Luck.

Saw it tonight, very well done. Chronicles the war of words between Sen. Joe MaCarthy and Edward R. Murrow in the 50's. If your a history buff, it's worth a look.

Saw it last night too and you're right, it is very well done. I liked how they used the original footage of McCarthy.

Funny you mention that, a buddy of mine told me before I saw it that one early reviewer criticized the actor that portrayed Joe McCarthy as being to "wooden" and "dry". He apparently didn't know they used real footage of him.

To funny!

It was a very good movie. I'm not old enough to have seen Edward R. Murrow when he was on TV, but someone I know who is from that generation said David Strathairn practically was Murrow from his appearance, demeanor and voice.
