72.) Bridge of Spies [10/31/2015]

Sometimes, the most unexpected person can accomplish exceptional feats, and James B. Donovan (Tom Hanks, in a role reminiscent of Charlie Wilson's War) was an extraordinary man; the movie, which was quite good despite the slow nature of the narrative, shows how he began to change, initially unwillingly, from a decent insurance lawyer to one of the most successful international crisis negotiators in American history by clearly distinguishing between what is right and what is just; this movie is a reminder of how America used to lead by example, affording even the most reviled of foreign agents with the fullest dignity of the Constitution.
