As the title suggests I'm having a weekend off from work, riding or jobs around the house so looking for some inspiring adventure films to watch. Prefer true stories and documentaries. To give you an idea I really loved touching the void and really like mtb movies such as the vast and follow me, Alone in the Wild documentary really caught me eye as well.

So fire away with your lists.....

The new Everest film is pretty good and relatively true to the events of that season.
Ride the divide is good too. Not that fussed on the other Dion movies.

The road from karakol on vimeo is good or Into the wild if you want a bit of Hollywood.

180 Degrees South - an "it's about the journey" documentary - Central America to Patagonia

Agree with 180° south and ride the divide, inspired to ride and a thin white line are also well worth a watch.

Dog Soldiers ... based on the true story of the 2010 Winter Bivvy.

I've had it on my watch list for ages, but a "retro" road racing film/documentary a Sunday in Hell is supposed to be good.

I watched Deliverance the other day, after Stu or someone else mentioned it on the thread about riding in the Appalachians. Squeal like a Piggy. What an amazing film.

Whatever you do, don't watch Reveal the Path (Dion's worst). You will want to scratch your own eyes out within about 10 minutes. (maybe 2 minutes)

Well worth a watch


Also, in video, a Cold Vein of you only have 5 minutes to spare and The Escape for 15 or so minutes

As above, Everest and 180 south are great films, also if you can find it on YouTube, there was a documentary on the north face of the eiger from many years back that is excellent

Eiger documentary https://youtu.be/x49kKbgSyd4

A thin white line looks good.

Ive seen the eiger before but its really good.

Looking forward to the weekend off now.

Don't think Everest has been released yet but would like to watch it.

Inspired to ride came out two days ago, well worth it.

Watched 'Blackfish' documentary the other day about killer Whales in captivity and how SeaWorld covered up certain issues.
Great documentary, but don't want to ever go to SeaWorld.

there i some ok documentery on netflix that follows a few sports people doing interesting things, a base jumper, a free diver and a guy doing the RAAM

I went to a Leo Houlding lecture last night and his mountain films look amazing, The Asgard Project, Autana, The Last Climb

Have you seen the Collective series? The Collective, Seasons, Roam? Brilliantly produced MTB films.

The Asguard Project is one of his best films, have watched it several times and love it.

The Guy Martin film is also a good watch about the TT

I enjoyed 'North of the Sun' when I saw in on the Banff film festival tour a few years back.

Ive started early and watched 180 South. Enjoyed that, good recommendation!

The collective series of mtb films are really good. I even have the sound tracks on spotify.
