Spielberg plus Ford.
Immediately 5 Oscars collected the first part of the Spielberg saga about Indiana Jones. This 1981 project and its sequels are classic adventure films of the highest rating. This is the pride of American cinema. Starring Harrison Ford. Indiana is truly his star character. In the triquel, he is joined by the no less charming Sir Sean Connery, who plays Jones Sr. The weakest link in the cycle, perhaps, was the film “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, shot in 2008, too much was created by the creators in it. Although Cate Blanchett as an infernal villain is good, as always, the special effects industry has moved far ahead. Still, the triquel and quadricwell have been separated for almost two decades. But the aged Harrison can still “give the country coal.” And the plans of this stellar duo Spielberg-Ford appear on the fifth part of the cycle.
The best adventure films are akin to
action movies , only in the first there are much fewer scenes of violence, here the emphasis is on how the character is able to get out of the created predicament.
In Egypt, Colombia and the Caribbean
The first two Mummies, shot by Stephen Sommers, are also the best adventure films of our time. The Egyptian escapades of the heroes of Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz capture. The Scottish actor John Hannah is responsible for the humor in these films , and Arnold Voslow is impeccable in the role of an ominous mummy. The third part, which passed “by inheritance” to another director, was no longer so remarkable. The great loss was the replacement of Weiss by Maria Bello. The dilogy about Lara Croft is curious: if these are not the best adventure films, then at least they are good ones. They are especially dear to the hearts of fans of the great Angelina Jolie and Gerard Butler, who appears as a charming adventurer in the sequel. A textbook work in this genre is an old, but pretty “Novel with a Stone”. Michael Douglas, paired with a cute and able to pironize over itself Kathleen Turner managed to create an organic spectacle. And Denny DeVito in the role of a scoundrel was, although insidious, but touching. “Fists are good,” as if the creators who make the best adventure films claim, but brains should work too. Also, a lot of admirers of the "Pirates of the Caribbean", a franchise awash with (sorry for the pun and tautology) sea adventures.
Favorite since childhood
The director of Novel with a Stone, Robert Zemeckis, loves making adventure films. The list of the best includes another trilogy - “Back to the Future”. The fusion of science fiction (time travel), western (in trikvel) and lyrical comedy - this is the recipe for success from the Oscar-winning Zemeckis. It is no coincidence that this triptych in its entirety is among the leaders in the ratings of popular movie sites. It’s only a pity that Michael J. Fox was not able to reveal his talent in further work, and remained “the very guy McFly”. The work of Christopher Lloyd (Dr. Brown) is magnificent. In the prequel, in the unusual role for himself (or rather, too ordinary for himself!) The role was played by the incredible Crispin Glover.
It is worth mentioning the Soviet television films loved by many since childhood. This is “The Adventures of Prince Florisel” - one of the last movie roles of the ingenious Oleg Dahl, an adaptation of the book by Evgeny Veltistov about the robot Electronics and many other wonderful stories that made you dream and fantasize.
