Post by Barnacle Bill »

Aight, name your favorite outdoors/hunting/mountain man/explorer books and movies..

"Undaunted Courage" is my favorite non-fiction book.

"Bendigo Shafter" by Louis L'Amour is a great book.


Obviously Jeremiah Johnson is a top movie.

Other movies:

BLACK ROBE - Simply Spectacular flick.

Will Penny - Charleton Heston!

Last Of The Mohicans - Daniel Day-Lewis version..

and...
Deliverance. :shock: (I bet you can hear the faint twang of a banjo in the background right now)

"you sure got a purty mouth."

PS - James Fennimore Cooper version is better than the movie, but it got a bit slow in parts...


"Predator" is my favorite all time outdoors movie.

The first that came to mind are:

Movie: "Man in the Wilderness" 1971

Book: "Goodbye to a River" (John Graves)

P.S. Every fisherman should read "The River Why" (David James Duncan)

#2 - Tom Horn with Steve McQueen

"Deliverance" is my favorite archery movie. This next is about the outdoors, but it's about the sea and fishing. It's title is, "The Old Man And The Sea" starring Spencer Tracy.

Great Outdoors is an all-time fav for comedy- John Candy and Dan Aykroyd still crack me up in that one..." sorry, my cellphone signal is kinda weak, I'm out here in God's country" :lol: and the cell phone he is on is HUGE!!

For pure scenery...All time fav is Dances with Wolves...classic

Movies:
1. Jeremiah Johnson - this one is obvious...
2. Last of the Mohicans
3. A River Runs Though It
4. Legends of the Fall - you just have to look past Brad Pitt
5. Pale Rider - technically a western and not an "outdoor" movie, but it has some great scenery

Books:
1. Into the Wild
2. Goodbye to a River
