elmuerte Posted February 19, 2011 In general I quite enjoy movies that have been put in the genre "adventure". Of course there are quite some "adventure" movies that I didn't really like. I quite often don't agree on what gets labeled as adventure. To me for a movie to be in the adventure genre there really has to be some kind of adventure through the world. Traversing the world; exploring stuff; etc. When I go through the list of adventurous movies that I've seen I've noticed that there is a decline going on in the recent years of adventures movies that I really enjoyed. Most of the adventure movies I really enjoyed come from the 80s and 90s. To name a couple of my favorite adventure movies (in no particular order): Labyrinth; Dark Crystal; Big Trouble in Little China; Quartermain and the City of Gold; King Solomon's Mines; Stand by me; Jewel of the Nile; Romancing the Stone; the India jones movies of course; Willow; the Conan movies; Red Sonja; the Studio Ghibli stuff; the Goonies; ... And to name a few more recent movies, the LOTR and Pirates of the Caribbean movies; but also Dragon Hunters; So yeah, there is sort of a theme going on in that list. But "Stand by me" isn't that fantastic (as in fantasy like). So are there any adventurous movies you really liked; or just some movies you can recommend me? Chances are high that I already saw most of the Hollywood stuff. But still any recommendation is welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Division Posted February 19, 2011 I'd classify UP as an adventure movie, which is one of the reasons I loved it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted February 20, 2011 I really enjoyed the National Treasures. The writers are obviously fans of India Jones And The Last Crusade, and there's a bit of Da Vinci Code but better in there as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
