Reactions from the web
I was really into the JFK assassination as a kid (still am) and I remember seeing this trailer late at night in 1991. Was so excited by it and went on to watch it countless times over the years.

A great masterpiece with some of the best writing ever put to screen, I have memories of my dad watching the film when I was 4.
