Maybe see Like a Lion at the movie premier then buy Eye Trip on Itunes so you can rewatch it 1000x or the other way around.

Welp dear friend....I'd say that Eye Trip would benefit more from the big screen. So I'd go with that. Like A Lion has its own merits, but a large percentage of the footage is someone sitting in a chair being interviewed, so a small screen will do just fine.

Both movies are amazing.

I think that if you had to choose between one, though, Like a Lion would be the sure choice. It documents one of freestyle skiing's legends, and navigates through his life from the top to the bottom, from X-Games gold to drug addiction. This movie is sort of a one-time deal. There's never going to be another movie like it, whereas I can bet that Level 1's movie next year is going to be along the same lines as Eye Trip.

I'm not trying to bash Eye Trip at all, in fact I thought it was the best "ski porn" movie of the year. Just I think that the story about what Tanner has done for this sport is necessary to watch.

Anyway, they're both on iTunes (Like a Lion on Nov. 23rd) for less than $10, so I'd recommend seeing both.

Go to like a lion. Like a lion in my opinion is an absolute must see. Eye trip is a good movie with bangers and rap music, but nothing you wouldn't expect to see. Like a lion is something totally different that will surprise you and change your outlook on skiing, and just a great movie. Go see it.
