MacHEADS (2009)

MacHEADS is a very good (not exhaustive but topical and fun) documentary of the beginnings of the Macintosh industry and subculture through to the present day. It narrates the history of the Mac and its adherents and it hosts commentary by an acceptable range of Mac culture gurus (Guy Kawasaki, Raines Cohen, Adam C. Engst, and more). If you don't know who any of these people are, you probably will be bored by this oral history, have never been to a Macworld Expo, and could care less about Silicon Valley's high-tech infancy. As someone who has closely followed and consulted in the Macintosh world from the Lisa to the iPhone 4 (in addition to Windows, though grudgingly), I found MacHEADS to present key and fun-to-know essentials of the Mac's history -- and I even learned a few things I didn't already know. 4.5 stars.
