30 Day Movie Challenge Day 23 – Favorite Documentary

Imagine a world where the most important thing a man can accomplish in life is setting the world record for the high score in Donkey Kong?  King of Kong takes us into that world, where newcomer Steve Wiebe tries to break in to the old boys club at Funspot, taking the record of Billy Mitchell, who originally set the record as a child and has made it his life’s defining moment.  It is an intriguing look at human nature and the obsessiveness of the nerd sub-cultures.
