Hey Mike,

Depends what sort of fix you're after.

Peter Mortimer’s Sender Films titles 'Return to Sender' and 'First Ascent' are both great - fun but with a poignant moral or message at the end. First ascent the series is fantastic too (available through Big Up Productions) which is more like 6 short films. 'Point Of No Return' is one of these which follows Jonny Copp and Micah Dash on a mission into Tibet. It makes me cry every time I watch it.

Big Up Productions' 'Progression' and 'King Lines' are both awesome too, particularly if you get your jollies listening to Sharma's blow off valve.

If however you like pretty colours, great music, lots of slow mo, and like to pretend that the climbing lifestyle is akin to a music video, then Chuck Fryberger's titles 'CORE' and 'Scene' are ace!

Even though I'd call myself a trad / aid climber, I still get a boner every time I watch Chuck's films. You can get the HD downloads cheap here: http://www.iclimb.com/categories/Movies/

However if your obvious aid penchant needs a little caressing, have you read Mark Hudon's latest TR on Supertopo? Lots of accompanying vid at his YouTube channel too:
