We all like a good thriller, especially true stories about powerful institutions that respond to problems with disinformation and smears. The Insider (Big Tobacco vs. Jeffrey Wigand) and Silkwood (Kerr McGee vs. Karen Silkwood) are great thriller movies. I haven't seen The Green Zone yet (although I hear it's good) and the Valerie Plame movie won't be out until August, but you get the idea.
Then there's Erin Brockovich. Her smearing wasn't really in the movie but it came later.
