Evan,

I have not seen 61* but I don't know anyone who pre-judges it as bad due to its HBO origins. Every review I have ever read of it said it was really good. Besides, Sopranos, Deadwood, the Wire, etc. are all from HBO - not much of a stigma there I'd say.

Like I said, I could easily be wrong about this. However, I think there's a big difference between a movie and a TV show. A made-for-TV TV show is, well, normal. A made-for-TV movie is a whole different entity and I think most people look down upon it.
