Must See TV/Films about Gamers

[woodyear99]

Hey Folks,

Looking through the forum I noticed many different genres of movies being discussed but no separate thread regarding movies specifically about gamers. This is a gaming forum so it would be interesting to see what new or classic movies we gamers consider must see.

I'll start off with a pretty interesting documentary I saw on Netflix called the King Of Kong. I really enjoyed it and did not know that old school arcade games are alive and kicking. There are some pretty intense competitions held every year to boot. Definitely one to check out if you haven't seen it, really makes you appreciate the skill required in games that some would scoff at as being "simple" and "old" compared to today's offerings.

Another one called Frag looks at the competitive gaming industry and the lengths some will go to achieve success.

Finally Second Skin looks at MMORPGs, specifically looking at a group of WoW players who spend most of their free time logged in to the game world. I'd hope that anyone watching this would find their game time a bit excessive.
