The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters


Old school Nintendo games rule! If you like them you should watch this. It's the feel good movie of the year.
"The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" is a documentary that is centred on one man’s quest to become the worlds best Donkey Kong Player. Steve Wiebe is a high school teacher who decides to take on the challenge of beating the world record holder (Billy Mitchell) for the highest score in Donkey Kong. In order to achieve this he must, not only, beat Mitchell’s score in public but he must also gain the acceptance of the gaming community in order for his record to be taken seriously and to gain their respect. You will laugh, you will smile, you will cry (with laughter)
