    Quoted from guyincognito:

    One of my favorite documentaries is 'Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade'. I highly recommend it, as it tells the stories of Twin Galaxies, Walter Day and the best players of all the classic games of the 80s arcades. It also has a great soundtrack!

    All that 80s music was never licensed for the final edit. That is just on the bootleg.

    I liked a lot of Special When Lit, but I don't think I could recommend it to a friend or something to show them what pinball was about.

    "Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope" is a good example of a geek documentary that celebrates its subjects without making them look like losers. You can show the eccentric in a way that people understand and won't mock. That's where SWL failed.

    I made this point in another thread... all we have to go on about Sam for most of us is what the movie showed. We don't know the real Sam, we just know the SWL Sam. I wouldn't beat on people too much for that, but perhaps the anger could be directed at the movie makers since that is what they chose to show.
