Which DVD's would I need for a Pulp Action/Adventure marathon?

[Goodsport]

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Here's the list I've made thus far (preferably in Widescreen format):

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

King Solomon's Mines

Alan Quartermain and the City of Gold

Lost Horizon

The Rocketeer

The Shadow (unfortunately, no Widescreen version could be found to this point)

The Phantom

Flash Gordon

The Mask of Zorro

The Mummy

The Mummy Returns

The Scorpion King

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I'm sure there are others, though... aren't there? :confused:

[Austin Powers]

I would have to add:<UL type=square><LI>The Goonies</LI></UL>...if for no other reason than nostalgia.

[Tequileros]

You forgot Pulp Fiction :). However, it's not an adventure movie but it's a good Pulp movie (notice Pulp in the tittle :P)

"You know how they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?"
"They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?"
"No man, they don't have the metric system over there, they don't know what a Quarter Pounder is. They call it 'A Royale with Cheese'" :D Or something like that :S

[Attila the Professor]

-Gunga Din

and

-Only Angels Have Wings


Significant influences on Dr. Jones, I say...

Also, League of Extrodanary Gentelmen.

I gotta go with Fisk on both of these. :D

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Should Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (http://www.skycaptain.com/) be added to this list once its released onto DVD? :confused:

[Webley]

Two Days In The Valley.

[Original Raider]

The Rundown with the Rock. Dont laugh, some good archaeology/adventure scenes. And Christopher Walken is in it: you cant go wrong.

[Ska]

Secret of the Incas - 1954 - Charlton Heston

Valley of the Kings - 1954

Hildalgo - 2004 - Viggo Mortenson

Tomb Raider & Tomb Raider 2: Cradle of Life

MANY more, btw...

[intergamer]

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Bogart flick)

[Battleflail]

High Road To China
(Difficult to find on DVD. I got an all regions copy on eBay; works fine)

[Johan]

Ghost And The Darkness

Pirates Of The Carribean

I too have to agree with LXG, The RUndown and Hidalgo

What about Lawrence Of Arabia?

By the way has anybody seen the new one with Ralph Fiennes - Lawrence After Arabia?

[Zharah]

Evil Dead

Army of Darkness

:D

[Johan]

that seems more suitable for a horror movie night

[Goodsport]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It seems that Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow will be making its way to stores in about a month (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0006IIPIK/102-3552932-1176133?v=glance&s=dvd) - and subsequently, into my DVD Pulp collection. :D

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Though I still have yet to find a Region 1 (U.S.) Widescreen-version DVD of The Shadow. :(

Using a simple code you can tell your player to play any region DVD [or switch it from reg. 1 to reg. 2., etc. [note: many players have an option for reg. 0, which means all regions...or it might just say all regions] I've done it on mine, and as far as I can tell, it works.

Tarantino's the man! Put both Kill Bill's on you're list while you're at it. :whip:

The Shadow (unfortunately, no Widescreen version could be found to this point)




The Shadow is available in Widescreen on the Laserdisc release and on Region 2 DVD if you have a multiregion DVD player. I know it's not much help, but it can be found in widescreen if you have one of those 2 formats. I don't know why but both US DVD releases of it were full screen.
