Thursday Movie Picks: Treasure Hunt

Treasure Hunt

Wandering through the Shelves hosts a weekly movie challenge in which you choose 3-5 movies based on that Thursday’s theme and explain why you chose those movies.

Today’s theme is Treasure Hunt so here are my choices!

Fool's Gold (2008)

Funnily enough, I just watched Fool’s Gold and reviewed it. I was not a big fan. But it fits the theme as Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey play an estranged married couple who find clues to a sunken ship that’s said to carry a treasure. It has a fun premise, but it’s a mess of a movie.

the hobbit trilogy (2012-2014)

While clearly not as good as The Lord of the Rings trilogy, I did enjoy The Hobbit trilogy, even though I think it relied way too much on CGI. Bilbo Baggins is recruited by Gandalf and a group of dwarves to travel to the Lonely Mountains to reclaim the treasure taken from them by the dragon Smaug. There’s no reason why this adaptation needed to be three movies, but money is money, and New Line knew they could profit from dragging the story out.

indiana jones and the last crusade (1989)

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is my favorite Indy film. Harrison Ford and Sean Connery are pure magic together. It’s a hell of a fun premise too – searching for the hottest of all treasure, the Holy Grail. Action, romance, and so much humor… I adore it.
