GUEST BLOGGER FORD CHURCH: MOVIE SUGGESTIONS

I am looking for your favorite outdoor/environmental/survival-type movie suggestions. I am looking to compile a list of movies for back up/Plan B/rainy day activities that can be used to spark interesting conversations and discussions about outdoor skills, environmental issues, heroic journeys and survival situations, service and volunteerism, community, etc.

Please post your all time favorites and I would be happy to compile a list for anyone interested. I would like to keep this list appropriate for students and that will help stimulate educational discussions. So, I am not looking for suggestions like "Cliffhanger" with "Sylvester Stallone", although that movie is funny to laugh at and point out all the technical absurdities.

So, K2, Vertical Limit and Whitewater Summer are out? I have an old NPCA tape and an Adventure Travel tape that I'd like to donate to your cause. See ya soon.

Try some of these Ford...

Cheers,
Brad

Whatever...Wolaver's just showin' off. He's compensating for not including a Kevin Bacon film.

Holzmann is just jealous...! I'm sure we could all learn something from Kevin Bacon's wild water ways...ok...on second thought, no!
