Oscar Rewind: Michael Clayton

The 2008 Best Picture line up had some heavy hitters that are still on people's lists of their favorite movies of all time. So when we saw a legal thriller smack dab in the middle of the stacked season, we were skeptical. However, Tony Gilroy's tight script and directorial debut, Michael Clayton, had us on the edge of our seats from the moment Tom Wilkinson's voice over started until we sat in disbelief in the back of the cab with George Clooney.
