There was one I can't remember the name of that had Forest Whitikar trying to expose a plot to overthrow the president. Dana Delany and Sam Waterson were in it too. Anyone remember the title?

What a great movie.
Also, I had forgotten that The Late Shift was HBO.

Though I still think it's more entertaining than all the HBO movies listed. I liked Bleacher Bums alot, too (another Showtime movie). Barbarians at the Gate and RKO 281 were both great, though.

Wasn't "Cold Comfort Farm" an HBO movie? That was great.
