Dogtown and Z-Boys - This documentary about the new wave of skateboarding in the 70's may have already been discussed, but I just watched it and thought it was a pretty good story.
Quote:
A new style of skateboarding emerged in the 1970s -- showcasing moves borrowed from famous surfers -- and with it, a skating culture was born. Legendary skateboarder Stacy Peralta (Riding Giants) directed this fast-paced, award-winning documentary that focuses on the Z-Boys of Venice Beach, Calif. This innovative group of guys became legends in the sport, and the depth of their influence is felt in a variety of sports -- and society -- today.
