The Conquest of Everest

»Link. A 1953 documentary, with footage from the actual expedition, about the summiting of Everest by Hillary and Tenzing. Even with the audio quality and the score's hammering, this is a fantastic movie. I learned more about the mountain itself watching this than I did by reading any personal account. The focus on the team effort and the sherpas' contribution was great too.

Paul is that guy you see in a coffee shop staring out the window, idly scratching the tip of his nose, and humming the theme to an animated Disney movie while his Apple portable is humming happily in front of him.
