Bottle Shock--saw this on IFC, but it's also available on DVD.
Back in the mid-70s, a guy (played by Alan Rickman) decides to set up a big official blind tasting event featuring California wines v. French wines.
He is encouraged by a character played by Dennis Farina. So naturally, you might wonder if he's in danger of being whacked at some point. But you suddenly remember that he was Hans Gruber, and realize perhaps he can handle himself OK. Only time will tell!
The whole drama that takes place is everything leading up to the actual historical event. But even if you already know what the outcome is, it's still wonderful to watch.
