If you didn’t find anything to "feel good" about the movie "Slumdog Millionaire", do watch this three minute video of John Carpenter winning a million dollars in real life on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" game show.
The best part in the video is the conversation that John had with his dad (via phone-a-friend) as he was about to create history in US by becoming the first millionaire winner – and he didn’t use any of the lifelines. The episode aired in 1999 but worth watching nevertheless.
