King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is the only recent movie I have seen four times in the last year and a half. In it Donkey Kong hero Steve Wiebe defeats pro stand-up arcade personality Billy Mitchell’s long-standing Donkey Kong record score. (See kids, in the old days you were playing for points.) Why does he need to do this? Watch the movie.
At this year’s E3 in early June Wiebe is going to publically get a chance to officially (re)take the title from the apparantly broken-wristed Mitchell, who has declined defending his title for years. More info here.

King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is a great movie.
but it does play fast and loose with the facts in order to make a compelling story:

Still this should be very cool to have an event like this at E3
