My personal list (based on entertainment value) is: Hard Grit, Front Range Freaks, Free Hueco, and Return to Sender. Persoanlly though, i think that climbing doesn't really lend itself that well to film, as a media. If you're not a climber, anything but big falls is pretty boring to watch. Surfing, Skiing and Kayaking movies are cooler. camhead wrote: Arrogant_Bastard wrote: camhead wrote: are we talking about good videos, or bad videos? The more I watch Peter Mortimer's movies, the more I realize they are Boulder, CO, circle jerks. blaa. Dean Potter, Cedar Wright and Timmy O'Neill are fucking annoying. Fixed that for you. Potter is not featured in any of Mortimer's movies, though. But, yes, I think he is annoying, too.
I liked the parallelojams section of return to sender (the only part I've seen), it was the first quality IC video I saw.
Front Range freaks was mostly lame though. A dog climbing, a chick bouldering in heavy skirts, a guy doing dynos and buildering? Not of interest to me. And the Derek Hersey thing felt like it was an hour long.
The bits of the Wasp and Rough Roof were good, but they were buried under too much crap.
