The Best Geek/Gaming movie ever (Besides Tron)

blaman327

There is an awesome documentary in the theaters right now called The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. It is about the quest for the highest score on the original Donkey Kong arcade game and the rivalries between two great players. It is a compelling, funny, exciting, suspenseful, and moving documentary and a contender for the best movie of 2007. I strongly recommend everybody go and see it, right now...do it.

If you already have seen it, I am interested to hear if anybody else thought it was as great as I did.

I heard of it but didn't see it yet. So it's an indie theater release? Time to head to E street D.C. then!

I'll keep my eyes open for it. Thanks!

Another movie coming out that is somewhat on these lines is Fanboys. That movie looks awesome, but it's been pushed back for years.

The movie just came out on DVD last Tuesday. I would highly recommend obtaining a copy to watch (renting, or buying because it is that good). It is a little overpriced right now if you want to buy it new ($23.99 at most retailers), but it should come down after a little while. I know I want to watch it again soon, too bad it was not nominated for an Oscar.

Warning: Please try to restrain yourself from punching the TV whenever Billy Mitchell appears on screen. Trust me, the temptation will be frequent.

Good point. But you are allowed to cheer when Mike Weibe comes on screen!
