Just returned from vacation and found this email from Netflix in my inbox:
************************************************** MEMBER NEWS - Word Wars **************************************************
Dear Daniel J,,
Word Wars goes where no documentary has been before -- behind the scenes of the national Scrabble championship -- and makes spelling as exciting as any extreme sport.
This 2004 Sundance Film Festival favorite follows four "word nerds" through their fastidious preparations and the smaller tournaments that lead to the 2002 national tournament in San Diego. These men are highly motivated (obsessed, even) and aren't above using a few four-letter words -- during play, of course, not on the board! -- when the going gets tough. They're the kind of fantastic real-life characters even Hollywood couldn't dream up. If you've ever felt the rush of plunking a Z or a Q on one of those elusive Triple Letter Score spaces, Word Wars is a must-see.

Enjoy the movie,
Your Friends at Netflix
