King of Kong
King of Kong is a semi-documentary about the trials and tribulations of a person who attempts to set the world-record score for Donkey Kong. It delves into his personal life, that of his rival, and the subculture of competitive classic arcade game players.
Sounds weird, I know, but anybody who hangs out at poker, bridge or scrabble tournaments will recognize this cast of characters pursuing their game-geekedness. Fun movie. Lots or audience rooting in the theater where I sweated it. If you like the oddball stuff, check it out.
