Lords of Dogtown
Directed by Catherine Hardwicke
The radical true story behind three teenage surfers from Venice Beach, California, who took skateboarding to the extreme and changed the world of sports forever. Stacy Peralta, Tony Alva and Jay Adams are the Z-Boys, a bunch of nobodies until they create a new style of skateboarding that becomes a worldwide phenomenon. But when their hobby becomes a business, the success shreds their friendship. From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →I am now watching Lords of Dogtown and remembering a) how good this movie is b) how much of it I memorized c) how much I made it my entire personality for a while in my head
positive · AI labelView post →This is a LORDS OF DOGTOWN meets THE WACKNESS type movie, just darker and sprinkled in with more violence.
neutral · AI labelView post →Also rewatching Lords of Dogtown reminds me that this movie is objectively not great (the skating is but the rest is not) and yet I love it so much fuck
neutral · AI labelView post →David Fincher came very close to directing "Lords of Dogtown", even though you wouldn't expect him to make a movie about skateboarding. Maybe it would have been like "The Social Network", but with skateboards instead of coding. letterboxd.com/mrcoat/film/...

neutral · AI labelView post →Lords Of Dogtown is an amazing movie that wished was studied more. See because at an early age I started skating but then I switched to scootering everywhere in the 4th grade. And I didn't stop. And I remember seeing that movie and was blown away by its authenticity.
positive · AI labelView post →I hung with and dated the surfers and the skater dudes. Did you're see the movie Lords of Dogtown? I date of one those guys. I had an interesting high school experience.

neutral · AI labelView post →Lords of Dogtown is such a good movie
positive · AI labelView post →Film #23 for 2026 is Lords of Dogtown (2005). Catherine Hardwicke creates the rarely seen "hangout biopic". There's very little effort to explain the importance or impact of the Z-Boys, but it's surprisingly enjoyable to hang out with them for two hours as they skate and angst.
positive · AI labelView post →Clips from "Lords of Dogtown " (2005) The film follows real events from the '70s when a drought in So. Cal lead to the draining of swimming pools and a group of young surfers from Venice Beach taking up skateboarding - in the empty pools -and then competitively. #MusicSky youtu.be/NFbfl9riK-I?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Lords of Dogtown (2005) is a decent movie, specially the underlying story about skateboarders, and the late Heath Ledger as a California surfer. But the best part is the incredible 1970's soundtrack with gems that most people (I am most people) never heard before www.imdb.com/title/tt0355...
positive · AI labelView post →Checks out ‘Lords of Dogtown’. Ah I see! Haven’t seen Spirited Away since release but great film. Must rewatch it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Lords of Dogtown was such a good movie
positive · AI labelView post →I cried when Heath Ledger died. "The Four Feathers" was also great (Shekhar Kapur, 2002). Actually, I've liked every movie he was in, except 10 Things (but he was good). I first saw him in "Lords of Dogtown" and then I had to see everything.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh no, haha. I just let that one go by, bc I knew you were talking about the movie, bc when they bust out onto the scene in the doc, they play the Stooges and Hendrix. Lords of Dogtown is good, but the doc is an all-timer.
positive · AI labelView post →Check out our latest collab w/ NMPBS. OG skateboarder Tony Alva of the legendary Zephyr team makes a cameo in the video shot at a recent local skateboarding festival in Albuquerque.

positive · AI labelView post →absolutely one of my favorites. makes me sob but also cheer it on the whole movie. can’t go wrong with Lords of Dogtown either tho, his name is Skip in that.
positive · AI labelView post →Was watching Lords of Dogtown (2005) for free on YouTube in the background & I love that a good chunk of the comments talk about the PSP Entertainment Pack that had the movie bundled in. It’s how I was introduced to this underrated gem. Heath Ledger’s Skip is among his best performances imo ^^

positive · AI labelView post →sometimes it's good for a historical movie to give a little context about itself so you can understand the stakes. for example, Lords of Dogtown should start with a big text-only screen saying "THE YEAR IS 1975. THE OLLIE HAS YET TO BE INVENTED WHICH IS WHY NO ONE DOES ONE"
neutral · AI labelView post →I feel like I've already seen this because I saw The Smashing Machine documentary. Like when Dogtown and Z Boys was out but then they made a movie called Lords of Dogtown. It was an okay movie but not as good as the documentary. Anyway, I'll most likely still watch this
neutral · AI labelView post →Coach Carter is probably a cliché, but I love that movie so much. Oh, and Cinderella Man. And Lords of Dogtown
positive · AI labelView post →Heath Ledger and Mitch Hedberg in "Lords of Dogtown". A lot of people forget that these two ones shared a scene in a movie together. Hedberg passed about two months before the film's release. Ledger would follow him less than three years later. their time here was the stuff of legend!

neutral · AI labelView post →The birth of skateboard culture In the mid-70s, the accomplishments of the innovative Zephyr skateboarding team of Venice, California, are dramatized based on events chronicled in skater Stacy Peralta’s documentary “Dogtown and Z-Boys” (2001). John Robinson plays Stacy, Emile Hirsch plays Jay and Victor Rasuk plays Tony (aka T.A.). Heath Ledger is on hand as Skip Zephyr while Rebecca De Mornay appears as one of the teens’ struggling mother. While I suppose “Lords of Dogtown” (2005) is a sports…
