Probably already in, but how about '3 Days of the Condor', '1984' (a bit obvious but not many more blatant examples of rewriting the records, and made into a film starring Richard Burton, I believe), The Constant Gardener (reports suppressed by government for the benefit of business)- and as a lateral thought just to get Laurel and Hardy in there, 'Way out West', where a will is misappropriated and its contents misreported to the detriment of the rightful heiress - stretching the point, perhaps, but worth including I think!

Again, apologies for cross-posting. Further to my recent enquiry on this list about records management training videos, I am trying now to think of films or television programmes that portray the practice or effects of record keeping (good or bad). I have seen a number of espionage/political thriller films like this, but can't remember any of the titles. I've seen this topic discussed on this list before, so I apologise for returning to the subject again. Can anyone recommend to me, perhaps off list, any films that might illustrate records management fundamentals? Thanks in advance, James Lowry. ________________________________ Watch Today!
