Frost/Nixon (In most theatres December 5): For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in the summer of 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit down for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency.
