Worth a watch. I saw this one back-to-back on the same evening with Tilt...so I get the two confused. Made the same mistake with Above the Law and Marked for Death back in the 90s. Now they are the same movie.

I didn't like Special When Lit. I found it unmemorable.

Tilt was great. The audio commentary had some amazing insight into the workings of Williams in the last year of pinball production and their goals for P2K.

I didn't like it. A good chunk of the movie is just watching socially awkward people say weird things. Don't get me wrong it had some really interesting parts in it, but I'm glad I didn't watch it with my girlfriend in the room or I'd never get laid.

This guy probably gets laid every day of the week

I didn't mind Special When Lit but I found Tilt much more interesting.

If this is the one I am thinking of, it is probably the most interesting documentary on pinball that has been made. It discusses a lot of the older history of the game starting in Europe during the 19th Century and follows the evolution of the game/features up until the DMD era. The documentary was done around the mid 90's so it shows the resurgence in pinball at that time.

Apparently there is an updated version now available at http://www.historyofpinballdvd.com/.
