What do you have already?

I used to watch the NALU Underground film a whole lot, I like it.. recently I've watched The September Sessions over and over.. :) It's also a good one.. makes me wish I could bail on my work and stuff and take a nice vacation.

my fave one is 'step into liquid' as its sorta like a documentry sort of thing. but then i have young guns 3...thats good. 'step into the realm' is another good one. 'somewhere anywhere everywhere' is also good.

i don't think that any films i have seen i don't like. but 'step into liquid' is deffo the best one.

I enjoyed 'Step Into Liquid' recently, covers lots of spots and great photogrpahy, the Cortez bank was amazing!

But for laugh value Blue Juice, great English film! More like a comedy filmed around surfing but Catherine Zeta Jones looks stunning! lol!

Kind of funny, but I really enjoyed "Surf's Up" with all the penguins and all. It's pretty funny, but it also reveals some truths about surfing. A couple of scenes, I almost teared up! Big Z is my hero!

Surfs Up is the best!!! lol.

step into liquid was good too, i guess, it had some good shots... other than that is was sorta meh, although the big waves were pretty intense...

what step into liquid DID have was a pretty cool little feature on a surfboard shaping factory...

I really enjoyed both Endless Summers, Step into Liquid (yeah the Cortez Bank segment was intense).

I enjoyed Blue Crush...definitely corny acting and such but hey, its a surfing movie.

I didn't care for Surf's Up too much (as a movie anyway). I liked the pro-cameo's and I really loved the animation of the waves, very realistic, but thought the movie was kinda lame.

Sipping Jetstreams is mega for it's filming and the Barbados section at the end is brill. Trilogy is great too...took me a few watches to get into it.

Watched it.. yeah, it was decent. Nothing spectacular, but it wasn't bad either. Some good surfing in it from people that aren't so well known/mainstream.

The extras after the credits are funny. The maker of the film is basically bashing on a lot of the surfers. He is saying it all in the joking way that a friend would be tearing on their friends, but it's funny to hear. :)
