Games were never so serisous as in this hilarious documentary about becoming one with a video game. "The King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters" (2007) follows Steve Wiebe as he finds purpose in the video game Donkey Kong after losing his job. Wiebe challenges Billy Mitchell, arguably at the time the best Donkey Kong player in the world. Get wrapped up in the drama of the game, as the players take their mission to be the best very seriously.

Expert Review:
Video games sound like the subject least suited to being depicted in a visual medium, and yet this saga of competition and petty obsession is absorbing from start to finish. There's more supsense and drama in the fight between two men over who will claim the high score of Donkey Kong than you will believe. Utterly hilarious and involving, this is a real-life Rocky story with arcade games. By Daniel Schindel of ScreenPicks
