Movies about the Outdoors

I finally sat down and watch "127 Hours." I LOVED it.

It got me thinking about some of my other favorite outdoor movies, like "Into the Wild" and "North Face". While these movies show some of the dangers of outdoor exploration, they also show the beauty, exhilaration, challenge, and peace that often drives us to the outdoors.

What outdoor movies do you love? Any recommendations?

This isn't necessarily a theatrical film, but still worth sharing. Just yesterday National Geographic posted a video about the Gulf of Mexico Sea Turtle populations. Only five minutes and gives an overview of last summer's move of turtle eggs to the Atlantic Coast plus recent events: http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/news/animals-news/... This is in relation to the volunteer program in Alabama called "Share the Beach" and we work to protect nesting sea turtles and hatchlings. If anybody's in AL and wants to volunteer www.alabamaseaturtles.com
