If you love video games, you need to see Indie Game: the Movie. It’s an incredible story of what it really takes to make the games we love to play. I can’t even put it into words how inspiring and incredible it was to see this film. The movie is currently touring theaters across America right now. If it’s coming to a city near you, I highly encourage you to check this one out. You will not be disappointed.

Netscape Mozilla Documentary 1998 - 2000 ProJect Code Rush - creative common licence (by znoopy2k)

A documentary on Netscape, Mozilla, programmers and the dot-com era. Interesting stuff; and on a personal note: as much as they make being a programmer sound quite depressing, it does make me want to code.

Then again, this film is 10 years old… Who knows what the life of a programmer is like now.
