Makes most other thru hikes look soft. Seriously. I watched it on Amazon, but it does not seem to be currently available. Just take my word on this one.

I loved his one on Antartica: Encounters at the End of the World. Ebert had a wonderful review.

(As an aside, I miss Ebert’s writings!)

Grizzly man is the most explicitly outdoorsy but he has a new one about volcanoes that’s great too.

I watched it before. Thought it was OK. But, many people do seem to like quite a bit. 🙂

It’s one of my favorites that I’ve watched several times. The people, the quirky music, the camaraderie; it’s a great doc.

I saw that one a few years ago. Very good!

My favorite outdoor movie is Touching the Void. Not a documentary but a true story told by the men who lived it. I thought it was completely mesmerizing and completely unbelievable, except it really happened. Just don’t watch it with a loved one before you head out to climb a mountain.
