PBS – Special When Lit: A Pinball Documentary (2010)
English | Documentary | Size: 2.21 GB
What made more money than the entire US movie industry through the 50s and 60s? Pinball. Special When Lit rediscovers the lure of a lost pop icon. A product of the mechanical and electrical age, the American invention swept the world and defined cool. Now it is relegated to a nostalgic footnote deserving a better fate. Has the video game killed pinball, or is there still an “extra ball” left?
This is the award winning definitive story of the rise and fall of pinball as told by the fans, collectors, designers and champion players from across the globe who share a world many of us didn’t know still existed, a passionate sub culture keeping the dream alive. Collectors swap spare parts, repair manuals, and scorecards dating back for decades. They cram every room in their house with flashing machines, then rent warehouse space for the rest. We learn about the early history of the game, with Chicago as the major hub of production for Bally, Gottlieb, Chicago Coin, Genco, and where Stern Pinball remains the only manufacturer of original pinball machines. Everyone has their favorite game – Evel Knievel? Ali Baba?
A game, a sport, a lifestyle – pinball takes this eclectic bunch of self-confessed ‘pinheads’ back to their youth as they open up passionately to reveal the attractions of the ‘world’s funnest toy’. Engaging and infectious, Special When Lit will have you revisiting a time when social networking meant hanging in an arcade trying to beat the silver ball. So drop a coin in the slot, it’s time to rediscover a lost icon…
Directed by Brett Sullivan ; Produced by Clayton Jacobsen ; Steam Motion and Sound UK Ltd. Production
