Code Rush is a doc filmed about 11 years ago. It followed the engineers of the Netscape browser. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u404SLJj7ig

I was an engineer at Netscape through the period this documentary covers and it's one of my favorite (though bittersweet) documentaries. I wasn't involved in the development side, so my involvement with most of those featured was quite limited, but . . . what a great piece. I'd also couple it with (what I'm sure has been mentioned elsewhere, but I've not read that far, yet) Revolution OS ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjaC8Pq9-V0 ).
If I wanted someone outside of the industry to understand what it's like to ship a big project with a hard deadline, I'd refer them to that video.
This is what got me hooked on to startups when I was a kid.
