A Fistful of Quarters

The King of Kong is the story of one man's long struggle to become the world champion Donkey Kong player. The filmmakers have created from this unlikely premise an astonishing documentary filled with quirky characters, dramatic suspense, unintentional hilarity (the best kind), and inspiration. At times you will be certain you're watching a Christopher Guest mockumentary. Some of the dialog is so good I was occaisionally suspicious that it was scripted.*

From the Wikipedia entry, it appears the villains of the piece dispute a few implications of the way the creators edited the film. This in no way detracts from what this team has accomplished. I highly recommend it.

* This is scene in a car in which the hero's daughter makes a comment so perspicacious and precocious that my fraud detection antennae shot up - but I have no factual basis to impune the filmmakers' integrity.
