Frost/Nixon

Cast: Frank Langella, Michael Sheen, Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt and Sam Rockwell
Release date: In select theaters December 5
Why you should see it: Oscar-winning director Ron Howard adapts the Tony-nominated play for the big screen, and Tony winner Frank Langella reprises his role as Richard Nixon, when the disgraced president sits down for a post-Watergate chat with British interviewer David Frost (Sheen).
Box office bottom line: This movie isn’t as concerned with a big box office as it is about getting some awards, and Langella is as close to a sure thing as you can get for a best actor Oscar nomination this season.
