There's something special about seeing a place you know well make an appearance in a movie. A shot of the Boston skyline might not do a whole lot for me, but a shot of a train station I went to regularly throughout college? That makes me smile. It's even better when that place is crucial to the film's setting. Funspot, in Laconia, NH, is one of my favorite places to stop by on vacation, and my wife and I try to make a trip up there at least once a year. It's the largest classic gaming arcade in the world, and there are a lot of good memories there. When I found out a documentary was filmed there, I knew I had to see it, even if it ended up taking me a few years to actually get around to it. The film is Seth Gordon's King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, a chronicle of two men with a serious devotion to Donkey Kong.
