Both films are fantastic! I am 42 and a skateboarder since 1984, so I am a little biased. However, I don't think one needs to be a skateboarder to appreciate the cultural signifigance of the Z boys. The documentary is honest and gritty and tells the story in a way that anyone unfamiliar with the story of the Zboys will grasp quickly.
The combo pack is a great deal. First, the price cannot be beat. Second, the unrated version of 'Lords of Dogtown' has much more content than the rated version. If you purchase these videos and have not seen them before hand, I would reccomend that you watch 'Dogtown and Z boys' first to get an idea of who the real people are and what their contribution to skateboarding has been. The documentary stands alone, but the film "Lords" drops you into the Z boys every day lives. Both films are well made and I have watched them both countless times.
As a side note, another film to consider is 'Rising Son: The Legend of Skateboarder Christian Hosoi'.

Great movie. Brings backs memories of growing up in the Venice area. I grew up there in the 40's and 50's, on the canals, before skate boards. I still miss Venice, but could not afford to live in the house I grew up in now.

My item was sent quickly and in EXCELLENT condition. I was impressed how fast I received my purchase. Thanks so much!
