    I watched it last night.

    Holy sheit that was freaking crazy ... even today I'm still amazed and can't stop thinking about it.

    A real inspiring story.

    Sweet Movie for sure. I've seen it a few times now, very inspiring very wild.

    Oh and...yes, That Boney M song gets stuck in your head!

    Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

    Semi-related: same thing happend with movie vs. book in Into Thin Air. The book had room for so much more detail and drama. But the movie wasn't bad, either. I would HIGHLY recommend the book and recommend the movie at least moderately.

    Will make a note to rent Touching the Void very soon...

    can you say badass? cause thats what these climbers are! definately the greatest climbing movie ever made. actually one of the only real climbing movies ever made.. movies who are directed by people who have never climbed in their life and have actors who just pretend to be climbers, instead of real climbers, dont count. so that rules out about every other "climbing" movie ever made.
