Tornado Video Classics 1 and 2 are my favorite. Wore out those VHS tapes as a kid from watching them so many times. NOVA comes in as a good second.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

I still have The Enemy Wind on VHS. A very good documentary focusing on the 1991 chase season. I also second the TLC Tornado series. Too bad none of the Discovery-network cable channels are doing anything remotely like that now.

Storm Chasers was an overblown (lame pun alert) reality show that couldn't seem to show video of the actual tornado for more than a few seconds at a time if there was a shot of Reed yelling and pointing at it.
*Meant to edit my original post, not quote myself. Still getting used to the new format, now can't find the "delete" button.

My favorite has to be a little-known TV special from KARE 11 in Minnesota called "Unheard Sirens." It focuses on the tornado that tore through Brooklyn Park, MN on July 18, 1986. It was what made me obsessed with tornadoes, and spawned my passion for weather.

This is a tough one for me because there are so many documentaries out there that I love. I would have to go with the entire TVC series. I still have my VHS collection that I watch every chance I get.

Tornado Video Classics Vol. II. I learned more about chasing in my first years from the portion in the first appendix where they followed Jon Davies and Dave Keller as they approached a storm in 1993 from different directions and eventually meet up. Remember when a chaser convergence was just two chasers? You can watch the whole thing here and the portion i reference starting at 53:50

Twister - Fury on the Plains brings back memories. I had this and another tornado documentary I can't remember. I already loved tornadoes before I got these videos but they got me really into it. I am going to watch tornado video classics now, it looks awesome!
The only thing I didn't like about twister fury on the plains is it showing the video with the news crew taking shelter under an over pass. I hope no one really tries to take shelter under over passes anymore.
