Man on Wire (not to be confused with Man on Fire)

Rating: 9 out of 10

Man on Wire is a documentary about the man who strung a tightrope between the twin world trade center towers and walked on it in 1974. It is an extremely beautifully done movie, with an artist feel. It is inspiring and passionate, intriging and tense. I must warn however of an inappropriate part pretty soon after he walks on the wire. His "celebration" is not a necessary part of the movie and I would suggest skipping it. It is obvious when it starts to come up, I would advise having the remote ready with your hand on the fast forward button. Other than that flaw, Man on Wire is a wonderful movie for the whole family.
