Was searching through torrents and found this (hope it works):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z8PIRU80
(vid is about 230mb in size)

I haven't seen the whole thing yet, but from what i've seen, it's a seminar and then an interview with David Sklansky
WARNING: This video is very 80's so watch your eyes...some vicious hair-dos out there. :)

just fyi before you download it (i just finished watching it):

It's basically an info video on sklansky's views on poker that must have been sold in the 80s and somehow made itself onto the internet.

Good stuff, reminded me the strategy and tips part of Caro's "Book of tells" video, but with Sklansky's personal strategies instead.

Alot of it he states as 'advanced theory' and says 'only master players will know this tip...' but it's stuff that even i know about, though do not practice every time i play. (ie paying attention to who's in the blinds before you act, or observing how many players are in a pot before deciding whether or not to raise with AJ etc)

Great info nonetheless - i suggest you guys DL it and watch it.
I personally liked the OH8 section. Good stuff :)

Sweet, I find Sklansky's methods and theory very good. Will definitely have a look.

And on the "advanced theory" and "only masters blah blah", you said the film's out of 80's. Well there's a million times more info on poker now than there was back in the 80's, FWIW.

I watched a few minutes...will finish it later....but, this guy is hilarious....he can barely act like he's not reading a script, and he talks like he's trying to teach a dog how to bark....lol It's funny that people felt that the pros were so high and glorious that they needed this type of seminar and teaching to try to be good...
