hi,
My personal favorite is "touching the void". Teaches you, thats its not over till it's over and yes the 2 essential words every mountaineer should live by "BE PREPARED!"

Vertical Limit. Nicely depicted about the motives, perspectives and drama around them.

I liked this. Awesome documentary. Even though it was more on mountains and not mountaineering. Seven Years in Tibet wasn't all that great, I'd prefer the book.
