King of Kong, The: A Fistful of Quarters

Videogame aficionados will enjoy and appreciate this enlightening and satirical documentary that delves into the positive and negative aspects of those obsessed with playing videogames, gives insight into the mind of Twin Galaxies founder and videogame referee Walter Clay, and follows the rivalry between arrogant, cocky, and self-absorbed "Gamer of the Century" Billy Mitchell who scored more than 874,300 points in the arcade classic Donkey Kong game in 1982 and his closest compassionate and fierce competitor Washington schoolteacher Steve Wiebe, who honestly and diligently challenged Mitchell's live and videotaped world records by relentlessly practicing Donkey Kong in his garage.
