When was the last time you screened Robert Redford's 1994 movie Quiz Show? A long time ago, right?

Check it out again. Not only has it aged well -- the writing, directing, and acting are still spot-on -- but it's also timelier than ever: the scandal portrayed in the movie eerily parallels the prison-abuse scandal playing itself out even as we speak.

The closing music, "Mack The Knife", feels especially appropriate; as does the movie's tagline: "Fifty million people watched, but no one saw a thing."
