Got enough funds for one more ski movie. Already have Eye Trip, Revolver, and The Way I see It...

Which would you guys recommend? Which has more bang for its buck? I know they're two differnet types of movies, but just generally...

I don't know anything about Like A Lion, but Light the Wick is so good. Definitely some epic shots, good music. My vote is for Light the Wick for sure.

ive got a hardon for thall so ima bit biased, but i thought that light the wick was pretty meh. I though Re:session was much better: bigger lines, tricks, etc.

def. Like a Lion, that movie was amazing, so inspirational and is going to be one of the best ski films about a ski legend for prob the next few decades. You won't regret it. I've watched it three times since yesterday.

I have both, and while I'm a fan of Tanner and all, I don't see myself rewatching Like a Lion very much.

In half of the shots in Light the Wick, people wear full face helmets. That should answer it. ^^

Like a lion is amazing, but its not the sort of thing you will watch over and over, but def something you should see.
Light the wick is wild if you like big mountain and big montain freestyle. if your a park/urban fan though you might not like it.

Also I hope that dude is a troll, cos otherwise he needs help.

Like a Lion was AMAZING. Hands down some inspirational shit man.

Also, nutsnbolts has proved himself to be a moron elsewhere.

Jah monnn!! Blaze em up!!




On the real though, my vote goes for Like A Lion. From everything that I've heard and seen, this is a pretty unique film and something that rarely comes around. Light the Wick is good, but there will be plenty more TGR movies with the same cast shredding lines and stomping tricks in the years to come. How many more documentaries on the best skier in the world will there be?

Like a Lion is more of a documentary as opposed to a ski movie. That being said, the movie is really inspiring and Tanner Hall gained a lot of my respect after watching it. Like a Lion has a big part to do with CR Johnson / Tanner Hall being lifelong friends so that really added to the movie.
