A Bingo Bus (2004)
Nice short documentary about senior citizens (i know... sounds boring... but it's not)
I went to see this movie last year at a screening of UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara) short films. Some of them were alright, some were pretty bad. But this one was done very well, and unlike the other ones, did not appear to be done by a college-age student (although it was). The film is just a short documentary about a group of people who run a Bingo Bus for senior citizens that has been taking trips to different casinos for bingo for nearly 20 years. The outcome is funny, sad, touching, and definitely interesting. It's a sympathetic view of a group in America who doesn't usually get attention unless it has to do with cheaper prescriptions on "Price is Right" commercials. I really enjoyed it and I recommend sitting down for this 30-minute doc and enjoying it yourself.
