DC 9-11 on Showtime is an excellent movie, as well.
The producer was interviewed on Michael Savage's radio program tonite (2nd hour). If you can catch it on re-run, it is worth the listen. The producer said he tried for exact accuracy in every, based on extensive interviews, including a lengthy interview with GWB.

I couldn't believe that movie as I was watching it -- it actually gave the president the credit in making policy decisions and being a leader. Interestingly, here is the write-up at TVGuide.com (bias alert):
DC 9/11: Time of Crisis
135 mins.
Having played a buffoonish President George W. Bush on Comedy Central's That's My Bush!, Timothy Bottoms does dramatic justice to the Commander in Chief in this involving 2003 docudrama, which chronicles events following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. The film is not necessarily about the personalities, according to screenwriter Lionel Chetwynd, [but] about the complexity of what it was like to try and be a leader. Effortlessly blending actual footage with dramatic reenactments, the movie is at times emotional and suspenseful. But it occasionally stumbles when saddling Bush with some overly melodramatic, John Wayne-ish bravado.
