Been looking for this for years. It was an HBO movie, but they're doing quite well selling them these days. I can't even find a torrent for it. Brilliant piece of work.

This has been available on DVD for quite some time. I remember seeing this on HBO years ago when it was originally released. I always thought it was a great movie. However, the DVD is far from that, as it's basically a "bare-bones" disc with lots of pixelation and artifacts that are visible. I saw it last week and thought it to be extremely dated.

I saw this in college, and would enjoy seeing it again. But I'm not paying $67 for it!
I'm surprised it wasn't re-released in conjunction with the Sorkin film, unless they feared it would show some of Sorkin's depiction to be distorted fiction. Conspiracy remains the the most accurate & thoughtful version of this story.
