Hey all -

My family has beeen watching a bunch of movies lately and we realized one of the themes has been the exploration of “secret” or buried areas, usually under a city- so I’m looking for more.

We’ve watched:
Indiana Jones and the last crusade
Goonies
Escape from the planet of the apes
Silent Hill
Clue
The Flash recently had an episode dealing with this

Anyway, looking for suggestions!!

Quoted from GhostThruster:

From Dusk til Dawn

Lol! I forgot about that but that’s actually perfectly accurate! And by no means will I be showing that movie to my kid .. haha

Quoted from boscokid:

National Treasure is kid friendly and probably meets your criteria

Yes! We love this one, I left it off the list. I was going to add The DaVinci code, but the kid is only 8, so uh...

Great suggestions! House on haunted hill is a favorite, even the crazy remake (and the significantly inferior 13 Ghosts)

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold.
A laughably terrible movie that not too many people are aware of, but certainly fits the theme you're looking for.
King Solomon's Mines precedes that film, and is supposedly a bit better, but I haven't seen it.

Richard chamberlain and Sharon stone! I remember those! Thanks

Killer suggestions! John carpenter is the reason my wife and I are married - we bonded over “the thing”.

We are discussing “secret passage” movies now, after adding some of these to the list. There have to be more...

That was a good list. I forgot to mention we watched “Neverwhere” which was a Neil Gaiman BBC show that the Hellboy “troll market” scene owes a lot to

Quoted from pinsanity:

Family friendly. Bronson digging tunnels like a madman. Even more fascinating when you read up on the actual true story behind it.

Love this movie - and Papillon which isn’t quite as famous but just as good.

Last night we watched Addams Family, which has the huge vault under the house!

Quoted from Pinless:

Little Monsters, The Monster Squad, and Flight of the Navigator might be fun adventure/exploring movies for an 8 year old.

Great examples! Love Explorers. Still remember my grandmother renting that and almost turning it off after the “elephant it is” fight scene. Joe Dante is a genius!’

Session 9 was a great, cheap film. Shows you can make an enjoyable movie without a lot of bucks. Good twist at the end too.

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend “housebound”. It is a New Zealand movie, one of those rare comedy/horror movies that actually works. It’s more like horror/suspense with perfectly timed funny scenes. The whole movie just unravels, it’s fantastic. Also fits the thread theme, which you’ll get once you’ve seen it.
