Movie Suggestions for the Adventurer cum Treasure Hunter
So I love corny treasure hunting type movies. Especially movies that involve pirates and/or pirate treasure being hunted down by bikini clad SCUBA driving beach bums. This is because that is my dream life. There is nothing that would make me happier than living in my bathing suit, sailing around the west indies, and looking for treasure (even if I didn’t really find anything). Fools Gold was, by the way, a cute date movie that your male significant others ought to be able to stomach. It also motivated me to start coming up with a plan to move to the Keys and sun bathe for the rest of my life. Oh also to get really thin and tan and look hot in a bikini.
Furthermore, I think Indiana Jones movies are responsible for me becoming a professor, or at least getting a PhD. Granted, my original goals were marine biology and archeology/egyptology (both of which my parents talked me out of at an impressionable age), but I have hope that I may be able to rectify the situation at some point later in life. Or in a few years. Or whatever. If you share my hopes and aspirations of being a treasure hunting adventurer and explorer, then I recommend these movies to you (along with a brief synopsis of my own):
1. Paul Walker is a SCUBA diving beach bum with a hot girlfriend, Jessica Alba. He comes across a sunken ship, but he also finds a plane that has crashed and has an ass load of coke in it – moral dilemma!
2. I thought the IMDB description was more amusing than anything I could provide “Master explorer Dirk Pitt goes on the adventure of a lifetime of seeking out a lost Civil War battleship known as the “Ship of Death” in the deserts of West Africa while helping a UN doctor being hounded by a ruthless dictator.” Yes, this is a very multifaceted mov
3. Omg I love The Mummy. I wish I was an (hot) Egyptologist. Basically some peeps find a book and end up waking up a Mummy bent on destroying the world and such. I really wish that I was alive and adventuring during this time period. Things were so much more awesome back then, and there were still tombs and artifacts left to find.
4. If you don’t know about this movie you live under a rock. It involves ghost ships and treasure and swashbuckling. I want to be as hot as Keira Knightley and I also want to be a pirate. That is all. Oh, I think their clothes are hot too.
5. Yet another bad ass woman. Lara Croft is rich and gets to do whatever she wants and run around finding treasure (but having ethics, too) and kicking ass and taking names.
