Black Swan's King of Kong post reminded me of BBS: The Documentary.
BBSes (Bulletin Board System) were part of the pre-web internet. You had your modem dial a number which connected you to a computer somewhere (typically) in your city that was running Bulletin Board software. It was all very slow and primitive and text only, of course.
In and funny and it's good that someone went around and interviewed a lot of them.
It's really long and it's not something you can rent, unfortunately. But if you think you might be interested, it's $45 well spent.
