Since there was a posting of Game related documentaries in one of the other threads, I'd thought I'd list some of the other ones that are really aren't game related but you might find interesting... (well, as a middle aged, overweight, balding guy that was raised in the 80's, I find them cool.)

Rewind This - Video tape goodness

Adjust Your Tracking - Even more VHS goodness.

The Rep - a bunch of guys try to start up a movie theatre in Toronto...

And for any of your retro technology reviews, there's always Techmoan's channel on your tube. (I love his RCA Selectivision Video Disc video).

As always, I recommend supporting these independent film makers but I'm pretty sure you know how to find these... um, somewhere...

I loved Cannon Films back in the VHS days!

And this reminds me of another doc that I picked up when Blockbuster closed it's door... pure violence... and by the same director

While we're speaking of films, a lot of people don't realize that the actor who played Wilson in "Castaway" is also the same actor from the volleyball scene in "Top Gun"....
