There has been some great climbing films available on Netflix and Amazon lately.

Valley uprising, Meru and Free Solo being some of the best. Unfortunately they are not free to view anymore I don't think. I've also watched Dawn Wall which is brilliant, but also WideBoyz, Redemption and Africa Fusion.

It's great that such a minority sport is getting good coverage.

Any other gems worth watching that people know of?

Not on Amazon or Netflix, but 'Shock of the new' and 'a film by some climbers' on youtube have their own charm.

Agree that the quality of filmmaking in Free Solo etc. is great. I guess a parallel can be drawn with climbing literature, which seems to punch above it's weight in terms of both quality and quantity.

Check out the Redbull TV stuff (free) - there's a load of climbing films. They have a smart TV app available or Chromecast it from an iPad, etc.

Some great shorts on Vimeo. You have to do some digging to find them, but here's a start:
