The Big Trail

Latest comment: 16 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Andrzejbanas, I disagree with your exclusion of the Big Trail from 1930's adventure films. Just because it takes place IN the west and indeed has horses, does not preclude that is more of a western. There are many films on that list that are more something else than an adventure, I could remove at least four on those criteria. The Big Trail is unlike a standardized formulaic Hollywood 'western' it is an epic travel adventure, where the entire families have picked up and MOVED in a place that has no roads. When was the last time you watched it? I was please to see that they will be releasing the Widescreen 70 mm Road Show version on DVD in the next few months. I am request that you put the film back until the such time as the list is over burgeoned with other films and one needs to make room by cutting out films with horses that took place in the 19th century America.

Flash Gordon

Latest comment: 16 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Before you get itchy fingers reaching for the delete button. Taken in context Flash Gordon IS a 1930s adventure film. It is only in retrospect that we lump it in with the 'sci fi' films of a much later era. Forrey Ackerman didn't even coin the term until 1954. Flash and Buck may indeedbe the seed from which modern sci fi has spawned, but in 1930s, they were JUST adventure films that took place in alien worlds and in space, they were not YET part of a genre. I concede that I may be outvoted, but I am hoping it is by a consensus. EraserGirl (talk) 01:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

No i'm actually comfortable with this one. I've done it for several 80's and 90's sci-fi films that have adventure films such as Jumper and Back to the Future and various films that involve and are strongly about adventure in space. (A trip to the moon, Forbidden Planet, Barbarella, etc.) Andrzejbanas (talk) 02:03, 25 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
