Trekkies (1999)
This cheaply done documentary looks at a selection of obsessed Star Trek fans aka Trekkies. I'll say it, as someone who once identified as a trekkie, there is something more then a little sad about these people, though at least their obsession is a largely benign one. Interesting time capsule of Trek fandom during the 1990's, which with three different Star Trek television series in production during that decade, was probably the high point of the trekkie subculture, which of course feed into the larger, and less stigmatized comic con culture of today. **
