(Entertainment Weekly) -- Pigskin, Partridge, and 8 other things we recommend this week:

1. "Good NIght, and Good Luck" Newsman Edward R. Murrow (a remarkable David Strathairn) is the chain-smoking hero of George Clooney's gripping tale of McCarthy-era America.

Review: "Good Night, and Good Luck"

2. College football You've seen the movies ("Rudy," "The Program," "Stone Cold"), now go home, order a pizza, sit on your butt, and watch the real thing!

SI.com coverage: College football

3. Annabella Sciorra and Chris Noth A note to NBC: Whoever brought Noth's Det. Mike Logan to "L&O: Criminal Intent" and partnered him with Sciorra deserves a very big raise.

4. "Epitafios" A superb Argentinean TV series (HBO On Demand) about an ex-cop and his ex-lover on the hunt for a serial killer. S -- es as de bueno!

5. "Cinderella" Ease into your most comfortable slippers (glass preferred, fuzzy in a pinch) and take in this 1950 Disney animated classic, newly reissued in a special-edition DVD.

Review: "Cinderella"

6. "The Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Didion A master of impassive prose gets personal by sharing her own tragic losses, and her brave effort to make sense of the incomprehensible is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.

Review: "The Year of Magical Thinking"

7. "Breaking Bonaduce" Watch in slack-jawed horror as the ex-Partridge gets buff and berates his shrink in VH1's train wreck/reality show.

8. "Goo," Sonic Youth A re-mastered, extras-packed reissue of the landmark 1990 album that still thrills with its sludgy, chaotic brilliance.

9. "Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection" In this handsome DVD set: 14 bona fide classics -- including "Vertigo" -- from cinema's wily genius.

10. "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" A frighteningly charming film that proves behind every cheese-loving inventor is a loyal and long-suffering canine.
