Hello Michelle,

A few things that come to mind:

The Da Vinci Code  and it's sequel, Angels and Demons

All the President's Men
Conviction
The Ghost Writer

Also--a couple of new documentaries including The Flat and Searching for
Sugar Man is essentially about trying to find out who he was based on
sketchy information.
