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?

[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 )

"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'" Or something like that :S

 

[Attila the Professor]

-Gunga Din

and

-Only Angels Have Wings


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

 

[Canyon]

Romancing the Stone isn't on that list... FOR SHAME!

Also, League of Extrodanary Gentelmen.

I gotta go with Fisk on both of these.

 

[Goodsport]

      Should Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow be added to this list once its released onto DVD?

[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

 

[Johan]

that seems more suitable for a horror movie night

 

[Goodsport]

      It seems that Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow will be making its way to stores in about a month - and subsequently, into my DVD Pulp collection.

      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.

Welcome, Raatikainen. I'm 55 days older than you.

Kiva Kookaburra Johnson -tsydeemi kans. Kävitkö jo Indy-sivuillani osoitteessa http://koti.mbnet.fi/vpr/indy/?

[*]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.
