The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

If you like video games, you'll really like this movie. If you don't like video games, you'll really like this movie. Seriously....this documentary is one the most entertaining films I've seen in a while. The story, which boils down to good vs evil, is classically great, the film's pace is perfect (entire length is only 79 minutes), and the characters are extremely memorable (geeky, weird, duplicitous, hilarious). It's hard not to get sucked into the emotion of the story and you'll probably find yourself on the edge of your seat rooting for Steve Weibe by the end. I promise, you'll enjoy this movie if you watch it. The DVD came out at the end of January. It's about $20 on Amazon right now - very much worth your time and money.

The trailer is really good. Enjoy.
