35 Awesome (and Awesomely Bad) Outdoor Movies
-
obvious omissions off the top of my head. i'm sure 5 minutes of thot could come up with more.
southern comfort, the way back (based on the long walk) jaws, the perfect storm, jurassic park, first blood (rambo).
and special mention for continental divide only becasue it has john belushi hiking in the rockies. and i like it.2,000 miler -
The Great outdoors... Just reminds me so much of a trip my family took to Cape Cod when I was a kid so much...RIAP

the list is awesome and awesomely bad movies. as long as they were doing a list i wish they had given a thumbs up or thumbs down to each movie.
for example, i know what category i'd place southbounders in. i doubt they agree.2,000 miler -

I've only seen 5 or 6 of those movies ... I loved Never Cry Wolf
"I think over again my small adventures, my fears.
Those small ones that seemed so big.
For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.
And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:
To live to see the great day that dawns
and the light that fills the world."Lost in the right direction. -
I've seen 7 of those. There not all bad."Dazed and Confused"
Recycle, re-use, re-purpose
Plant a tree
Take a kid hiking

Here is the greatest scene from the greatest outdoors movie --
And it plays in a loop in my head everytime there is some whiny social justice warrior thread...Of course I talk to myself... sometimes I need expert advice. -
The 1950s sci-fi/horor movies are even worse.
"Them !" a movie about giant ants, with Leonard Nemoy.
I forget the exact title, something like 'It came from space' about an inverted ice cream cone creature about 6 feet tall that has teeth along its bottom edge.
'Lepus !' about gigantic rabbits that attack people at a ranch. Some 1940s Western movie stars are in it.
I liked 'Dances with Wolves' to.--
"What do you mean its sunrise already ?!", me. -
If you haven't seen "Never Cry Wolf", you must rent it. The scenes with the mice and with the caribou are the best.
-
Is not the biggest question.. do you wish you could get those hours back after watching them?
Mine was "Best in Show" I was pissed having paid for it, then sat thru it... gaveup after 3/4th's It was you loved it, or hated it.
My best was Sylvester Stallone on the big screen Cliffhanger
Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!

Saw one with Anthony Hopkins not long ago, about him and a companion who get attacked at knight by a grizzly...pretty good and one I had 't seen before.

Mile, Mile and a Half I didn't care for. The photography was amazing, I just didn't care for one particular guy in the film.

Just finished watching 'Tracks,' the story of Robyn Davidson's camel trek across Western Australia. An amazing story. I recommend the movie (available for download on Netflix), well acted and the scenery was stunning.“Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
the saddest are these, 'It might have been.”

'Them !' attack of the giant ants !
A really bad movie would be 'Attack of the Lepus', attack of the giant killer rabbits.--
"What do you mean its sunrise already ?!", me. -
I remember well watching 'Them' when I was a little boy. Never trusted Ants since.
