Zodiac
While Zodiac is set in the 70s, it feels like it was made in the 70s. David Fincher ("Panic Room") takes his time laying out the story and characters involved in the Zodiac serial killer case. Excellent cast, even just the bit players are big names (Brian Cox, Phillip Baker Hall). The cinematography and production were very atmospheric. But this isn't a thriller. There are a few tense moments, but it's really about journalism and puzzle solving. Well worth the two hours and forty minutes. And I love seeing Robert Downey Jr. ("Lucky You") and Mark Ruffalo ("All the Kings Men").
