OUTSIDE movie Challenge!

[ck1]

OK...who's up for a challenge?

Lets see if we can't create a comprehensive list of OUTSIDE movies. You know what I'm talking about, movies with a base/theme/setting/etc of the outdoors.

I'd say the movie would have to include some adventure activity such as camping/hiking/paddling/cycling/climbing/running/skiing/snowshoeing/......


Perhaps a start with:

Breaking Away (road cycling)
K2 (climbing)

Cliffhanger (climbing, although somewhere in Sid Hayes pace)
Shoot to Kill (climbing, hiking: Great Pacific Northwest mountain scenes)

Deliverance was the first to pop into mymind, also.

There was that one with Kevin Bacon and the wayward kids. Can't remember the name of it. He took them out in the wilderness.

I guess its not really a movie, but there is the Imax video of Everest. I have never seen it but am interested in it.
