Soul Stream Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 I saw this on TRIO the other night and had to immediately go to the funky video store to see it again. Hands down one of the most interesting movies I've ever seen. Not to mention documentaries. Anybody else ever seen these wonderful film? Quote
47 West 63rd N.Y.C. Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 Yep, I saw it too. Good doc. IMDB: "Affectionate portrait of Tim "Speed" Levitch, a tour guide for Manhattan's Gray Line double-decker buses. He talks fast, is in love with the city, and dispenses historical facts, architectural analysis, and philosophical musings in equal measures. He's reflective and funny about cruising: he loves it, got in it to meet women, and he'd quit work if he could. His personal life is disclosed in small doses: he takes home $200 a week for 20 hours work, home is his suitcase and wherever he can flop, he's been arrested for going out on the roof tops of skyscrapers to see his city; he stands between the towers of the World Trade Center, spins until he's dizzy, then looks up."
