180° South

I came across 180° South a few months ago on Netflix instant view, and I really think it's deserving of a plug. Basically a surfing/climbing bum finds and old documentary of a bunch of surfing/climbing bums in the 1960's on a road trip to Patagonia, and decides to follow their lead. On the way down things fall apart and blah blah blah. What really makes this film worth watching is that it kind plays catchup with the dirtbags from the original documentary, who are now the founders of outdoor clothing giants North Face and Patagonia. Personally I love the story, and by the end of the film I was restless to get outside and do.... anything. Check it out for free on Netflix next time you're stuck inside.
