Treasure Hunter Movies

    So I started watching the first Shane West El Dorado movie that was on Sony Movies recently. only 40 minutes in and seems like they could be decent movies. It got me wondering what other decent/entertaining treasure hunter movies are there? They're usually fun to watch.

    Ones I've seen include the Jack Hunter trilogy(all in one day on SciFi)
    All 4(or was it 3? :)) Indiana Jones
    Both Tomb Raider
    Both National Treasure
    Both Romancing the Stone
    All 3 Librarian
    The Goonies
    Sahara
    The Mummy

    Any others people would recommend? As you can tell from the list above, I go for really high brow movies. :)

    A common trend seems to be El Dorado and/or something supernatural

    The one with the Gorilla that does sign langue, who fights off a load of evil Gorillas who guard a diamond mine. Think it was called Gorillas in the Mist or something.

    My bad :) Had a comment in here re:Indiana Jones which I shamefully deleted. I read 'All 4' as a movie and just browsed down through the list without reading the rest of that line. Not one of my proudest moments, sorry :P

    Ah yeah saw one of the Kings Solomon mines movies.

    And saw Congo as well after I got the book in a combo with Jurassic park. That movie has nearly got me in trouble when I meet girls named Amy since I always have to bite my tongue before saying they remind me of a gorilla. :)

    MacKennas Gold is another but its very long and frankly slow, by the time they reach the gold it hardly seems worth all the effort!

    It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World obviously must be included, a childhood favourite.

    Yeah Tintin is on the to watch list

    The National Treasure movies are harmless fun, If you enjoy those types of movies. Probably more in common with Sahara or the Dan Brown movies than Indiana Jones with regard action

    This scene is somehow ingrained in my memory and I don't know why...
