mn90403 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I am a History Channel buff. Tonight they were showing Pale Rider from the 80s and there were some 'authentic' scenes of monitors and wooden sluicing. It caused me to do a search and I came up with a page of 82 movies that have to do with Mining in Film. What is your favorite mining movie? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mining_in_film Mitchel 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DolanDave Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Mitchel, I remember that movie, good one. One of my favorite mining movie is the oldie but goodie Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Dave 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldseeker5000 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 "Klondike" is my favorite. It's a 3 part mini series on the klondike gold rush based on real life people. If you haven't seen it or heard of it, then get it you will never get tired of watching it. My second favorite is "Paint Your Wagon" with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rege-PA Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 phrunt.......really would like to view the movie after seeing the trailer but says unavailable in US. Will keep searching for a copy or venue where I can watch without going to NZ, which I might have to do........ 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexhavoc Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Classics noted above. But one that often overlooked nugget is Charlton Heston in "Mother Lode" :) "You stay the hell out of my mind, laddie." Rex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
