Bought "All the President's Men" DVD this week.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

I think it should be required watching (and of course, reading (the book)) for all journalists and would-be journalists.

Cover-ups, fear mongering, lies, fake press releases, follow the money...sound familiar?

1. One of my favorites- I never tire of watching it!

2. Immediately afterward, you should watch "Dick"

That is the funniest movie. Ever. What? You gotta laugh sometimes :)

8. It was on Comedy Central this weekend; watched it. It is

a cute movie.

"YOU SUCK, DICK!"

3. Nixon's downfall and Robert Redford all in one movie

Who could ask for anything more?

BTW the poster above is correct. "Dick" is hysterical (I've got to watch that again). I first saw it with a couple of my nieces, whom I embarrassed by laughing so hard I could hardly breath. We saw it again together when it came out on video so I could explain some of the hilarity to them.

Watch it and find out the real reason for the 18 minute gap in the tape.

4. I have Oliver Stone's NIXON on DVD.

It's a pretty good movie. I haven't seen ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, but I do have the book. I plan on getting the movie as soon as possible.

16. I guess i missed that film... i'll have to keep my eyes peeled for it..

given the recommendation... the original DVD is excellent. I'm looking forward to the Two DVD set..

5. I bouth the DVD about a year or so ago..

But last week they said there was a new release - is the content different?

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

9. It's a 2 DVD set. Haven't watched the second DVD.

Thirtieth anniversary edition.

[radio4progressives]

15. ahh. ok it's a different one... guess i'll have to check in my old copy

and get the new one.. d'ya remember how much it retails for?

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

17. I think I paid $19.99 at Target.

6. It is so complicated. You can watch it again and again.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

10. I agree, Applegrove.

[applegrove]

14. I've seen it once every 5 years. It is always good. And it ends well

too.

Those were the days.

7. You should also purchase or borrow a copy of PBS WaterGate Plus 30

and watch that incredible documentary - a lot of the names you hear mentioned in All the President's Men is shown and interviwed for this documentary - it's an execellent companion - and it's a whole lot more indepth. (naturally)

11. I bought it too...

Thought the extras were GREAT and the Redford commentary is outstanding...love how he keeps throwing in the "see any similarties" throughout the commentary...go Bob!!! This movie was brilliant...Jason Robards steals the show...

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

12. Gonna watch again this weekend; don't get sick of the movie.

Robarbs was terrific; I agree.

13. I bought it a while back and have watched it .....

.....many times. Of course, I saw it in the theatre also. There are SO many comparisons to the present situation.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

18. I'm reminded of the lady in the apt. they go to (Mrs. Abbott...wrong

Abbott who worked at Garfinkel's) who is a Republican who says she's so happy about what W&B are doing. She's been a Republican all her life and what Nixon is doing is "a threat to our constitution." Sounds all too familiar.
