I'll give ya one... Ever hear of the book "One Mans wilderness" and there was a subsequent movie.. It is based on the true story of Richard Proenneke who had retired in his (mid fifties?) and moved/homesteaded in Alaska and then lived there by himself for 30 years.Quote:

I have a good attention span for things like that. There are so many books I need to read lolQuote:

A true story about survival in the jungle in Laos during the Viet Nam conflict by an American flyer. I give this one two thumbs up! Finally, if you want to see a gross parody of Survival Reality shows check out "Wrong Turn 2". Just watched it. Wierd but funny.:eek:Quote:

I cant remember its name. But it was made after the robertson cruseo book. I would give it 10/10
Remy, how would you rate it overall? I was just watching the previews last night and thinking about renting it, Wahlberg tends to run kind of hot and cold in the acting department in my books, but Leguiziamo (sp?) usually turns in something solid. How's the overall story from your perspective?
Well, when you mention that I think I'm just going to have to see it, lol.Quote:

Best Native American movie: The Native Americans, came out in 94 on TBS. Hard to find but WELL worth the watch.
Trax - I'm a fan of some M. Night's work and enjoyed the movie.....but then again, I drink coffee out of a bowl from time to time.
I remember a movie about a french guy, who took his wife to the Canadian mountains and lived. He was a trapper and oneday, he stepped in one of his bear traps. He got gangreen in his foot and leg, his wife had to take him out to the woodshed and chop his leg off.
She then bandaged him up, but he died.
Towards the end of the movie, in spring, she takes the canoe and heads downriver to a town and becomes a teacher.
The end of the movie shows her with a loaded canoe, paddling up river and the very last scene, she pulls up to the cabin.
Don't know the name, but it is very old and cast in very dark light.
Into the wild and castaway are the only ones I know
ummmm....what bowl do you drink out of? My dog was drinking out of a bowl that I had to close the lid on....Quote:
