All the Presidents Men/Three Days of the condor
Love the suspense and story lines of both of these movies. Great acting by Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in All the President's men. Also great recap of the Watergate scandal as far as a movie goes.

2 Great Movies in 1 package!
I was actually looking for "Three Days of the Condor" and what a surprise to find it attached to another great movie, "All The President's Men" for a great price. Robert Redford stars in both. In "Condor" he plays a CIA researcher who comes back to work from lunch only to find all of his co-workers dead. What follows is a cat and mouse game between he and the agency he thought he could trust. It also stars Faye Dunaway, Cliff Robertson, and Max Von Sydow. In "All The President's Men" Redford teams up with Dustin Hoffman to portray Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the Washington Post reporters who follow a break-in at the Democratic headquarters at the Watergate Hotel all the way to the White House.
