The Most Famous Skateboard Movie?

Anyone who knows Quake 3 will know that Annihilation is "the" movie to watch. It's the tip-top creme de la creme. I'm looking for the equivalent in skating movies. What's the pinnacle skateboarding movie that people new to watching have to watch?

    I meant more like trick movies, as opposed to Hollywood movies.

    Yeah Right! and Almost Round 3 have some pretty sweet tricks in it. They also have a bunch of cool filming techniques. Another movie i really enjoy is Super Champion Funzone, but its less of a skating move. There are still tricks in it, but its chronicling the adventures of fourstar skaters going to Japan....its worth watching though...really well put together.

    Birdhouse's The End.
    Rodney Mullen versus Daewon Song

    The Search for Animal Chin is a classic.

    I also like Blind's Video Days


    ...just watched a bit of Video Days. Yeah, that's a definite must watch. Gonzales, Mariano, and Lee all kill.

    Yeah, pretty much any daewon song or rodney mullen video is worth it. Ive never seen someone have as much control as mullen with a board in the air.

    I quit skating after watching that video. I realized I would never be that good. And it made me sad.
