"Spellbound" Makes Nerds Into Heroes: Hey, Look What We Just Got!

If I were to tell you that I am a musical robot, would you have any idea what I was talking about? If not, you need to watch "Spellbound," above. (If so, watch it again. It's great!) The 2002 documentary -- an Oscar nominee the next year in the category of Best Documentary Feature -- follows eight adorably wonky kids on their journey to the Scripps Howard national spelling bee, and the words on which they triumphed -- or tripped. I promise, you will never again see the phrase "marriage banns" in print without remembering its importance in the film.
