I agree, I get very boring with the Dosage films, and i think is because you just can watch the same thing... boulders, boulders, boulders...
FA is my favorite climbing movie too, and the reason is because is about climbing but every second on the film is just a climber climbing... i mean the film has a lot of fun moments, falls, sea, ice, interestins stories, a little looking back to the climbing histoty (Tim O'Neal teached that in awesome way haha), the music in the film is awesome too, the message that at the end after some Didier's words...
I've seen this film thousand times and i still love it!

Well, I've never watched it with you, but I'll take your word for it. Are you boring to do everything with?

My favorite is 'Return to Sender' (same guy who made First Ascent)
Close seconds are First Ascent and Vertical Frontier

Hmmmm ... I'm not sure how I feel about that ... I liked The Sharp End and there were some clips I really liked (I actually would have liked to see a bit more of Steph Davis on The Diamond, but I'm probably in the minority on that one!). And I enjoyed watching Cedar Wright and gang in the Czech Republic.
But in the end, I think you're right. I think I liked First Ascent better than The Sharp End. Though I'm sort of in love with Squamish after spending 2 summers there climbing full-time (and I'll confess to having a crush on Sonnie Trotter too) so I'm probably a bit biased. But I also liked Return to Sender a bit better than The Sharp End. So the bias can't be all of it.
I still think The Sharp End is well worth watching. And I'll probably buy it and add it to my collection of movies to watch on a rainy day.

True, and I think in someways bouldering as taken on a seperate culture. But personally I think videos or pictures of bouldering are awesome. The really capture an aspect of climbing thats harder to get when your 200 feet off the deck. And for improving technique bouldering movies are great to watch.

I just like watching the hard routes in movies! It's a lot more interesting! It's cool to see people doing really hard trad routes.
