"Of course, because this is a media news website, we must talk about Redford's performance as Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward in "All the President's Men." The 1976 film about Post's coverage of Watergate is considered one of the greatest movies ever made about journalism (it was No. 1 on my 2021 list of the best 25 movies about journalism). About the legacy of the film, Redford was once quoted as saying, "The role and fate of journalism is an ongoing issue and constantly needs to be looked at and looked after.""
