I recently got Bruce Brown's golden years of surf collection for this past Christmas. So far I've only watched Slippery When Wet (doesn't sound like a surf movie, does it? sounds like something more...x rated lol.) and Surfing Hollow Days. Both are great, if you're into old school longboarding videos and the origins of the sport. Bruce Brown himself introduces each video and explains the context of each (Slippery When Wet happens to be the first surf movie he ever made, 6 years before the famous The Endless Summer). Slippery When Wet follows Bruce and a couple of his buddies as they attempt to live and surf in Hawaii for $100 a month. More than one scene shows them eating cheap and delicious canned beans for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner...goes to show you that people will do anything for good surf. Highly recommended.
