Oh I do like films that after you watch them you think "Well that was fun"...
Few days ago I watched Romancing The Stone. Oh the adventure! It was made over 20 years ago in 1984.
And this film has everything to make it super fun and interesting:
Kidnapping
Scary Colombian villains
Silly Villains (Deny De Vito is a comedy genius)
Treasure map
Long walk throw the jungle
Dead corpse
Cooked snakes
Crocodiles
Amazing Emerald
Hunky leading man, still very very attractive Micheal Douglas
and a love story!
The novelist Joan Wilder is going to Colombia to free her kidnapped sister from the mobster by exchanging her for a map. If the plot of the film was to happened now, our cynical selves would be, really Colombia, isn't it where the drug lords are?! But not in the 80's... This made a fun adventure film. Now read again the list above and say this movie wouldn't be entertaining!
In the benging when she takes the wrong bus and everything goes pare shaped, you think with the morden cynical mind, what sort of mobsters are we dealing with?! But that's how the real adventure begins...
Watch it. Watch it for fun!
I would say that this is definitely one of my favorite films.
