I thought "The Ghost and the Darkness" starring Val Kilmer was a good one. It focuses on the lions of Tsavo that attacked villagers and railway workers in 1898, and it was well done. They may have taken some creative license with the facts, but it kept my attention.
The most critically acclaimed movie with hunting in it is probably "Out of Africa" with Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. I read the book and it is a very good read. Karen Blixen the central character (and a real person) really did shoot lions and other game. Way back in the day when men were men, etc. You might say she was a regular "Bella" with guns.
Ghost and the Darkness is pretty good too. You really can see the lions of Tsavo at the Field Museum in Chicago. Been there done that. Col Patterson sold the skins to the museum back in the forties.
Thanks guys, need something to watch, down after back surgery. Getting cabin fever, can't ride in a car, 3 pound lifting limit. No fishin' or huntin' for me for a while.
Yes, classic, but the hunting is just used as an analogy. The movie focuses on the relationships between the guys in the story before, during, and after the Vietnam war.
No the movie "The deer hunter" really sucks. I hated it because all it was about is a couple of guys who go to Vietnam and end up playing Russian Reulet.
Sounds like we could use some good hunting movies. Will we ever get them out of Hollywood? My favorite is Escanaba in da Moonlight - that had to come out of Purple Rose Films in Michigan.
Well, everybody has an opinion. I thought Deer Hunter was a pretty good film about relationships between people, life and death, and changes wrought by war and extreme circumstances. You could be right though, maybe it did "suck". Lol.
BuddyBoy is right! JJ was a great movie, Granpa from the Waltons, forget his name, was classic as the Griz guy!
Can't have a good hunting movie MLH, PETA's panties would be so bunched up all those Hollywood execs would be feeling it in the wee little packages they have left.

Ghost and The Darkness is an awesome movie. I like the Edge. Escanaba In The Moonlight was good for awhile until it went alien.
