Frost/Nixon leaves my frosty...

But I don't mean it in a bad way. 

I really enjoyed Frost/Nixon and I loved how it wasn't really a political film. By focusing on characters, it gets the most out of the potential for writing, acting, and even directing. 
It's amazingly like a sports game between these two iconic figures, one of the characters calls it  a "duel," to which the other disagrees, wrongfully so. 

In any case, sorry for the SparkNotes version here, I just fell ill the other day (I guess) and am feeling pretty torrid with this flue. I just wanted to give it my full reccomendation. 

Top 5 of the year, so far:

1) Revolutionary Road
2) Two Lovers
3) Wall•E
4) Frost/Nixon 
5) Slumdog Millionaire
