What stores would carry "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room?" - Blu-ray Forum

I heard the documentary is fantastic! And I just realized there is a blu-ray for it. It's Saturday and I can't obviously get Amazon to ship it to me tomorrow.
The sooner I get it, the better lol. I am just dying to watch this!

Does anyone know what stores would carry this.....?

I have seen this documentary countless times and love it. Like the other member indicated if you have netflix you can stream it while you find it on blu ray.. I haven't seen it in any of the stores, I think I saw it at Best Buy once but the price was outrageous.

Yea, you pretty much need to start with Amazon for this one. Barnes & Noble, Best Buy etc. may carry (very slight chance) it but it will be very expensive. I usually just buy the dvd for these great docs since PQ isn't a big deal. By the way, if you love docs, you have to go see Waiting For Superman that's in the theaters now. It will win the Oscar this year but it is such a depressing statement about our education system. (The U.S. system is sooo bad we are even crushed by FINLAND!)

I think your only hope would be Barnes & Noble or Borders. Both have an option on their site to check for local store stock.

Beyond that, Netflix streaming is your next option.

(Also, keep in mind that when you order it from Amazon, you *immediately* get access to a free copy of it on Video on Demand.)

And it's a good documentary (find out the real reason Schwarzenegger became "the Governator", like we all thought it was something cute at the time....

)
Except perhaps--and it's a minor complaint--for Alex Gibney's desperate reliance a little too much on Michael Moore-esque "Ironically appropriate pop-tune soundtrack" gags:

If a character says "The idea was magic", the Lovin' Spoonfuls appear on the soundtrack--
If a character says "It was all about the numbers", Philip Glass's "Einstein on the Beach" starts counting numbers on the soundtrack--
If Enron begins moving the operation to California, we hear the Eagles singing........"Californication", hah, fooled ya, didn't they?

(Haven't gotten around to "Casino Jack & the United States of Money" before they remake it with Kevin Spacey, is the original documentary any good?)
