Outside Goes to the Movies
Journey to the Edge of Your Seat
A shamelessly hedonistic celebration of the movies that feed our fantasies, explore the DNA of adventure and wild fun, and nourish our rambling, freewheeling, risk-loving souls

There's nothing like a great adventure, especially when it comes with a cold soda, cool A/C, and popcorn. Join our armchair expedition through Hollywood's most exciting tales, from sea to summit and back. PLUS: This summer's hot releases; an inspired conversation with James Cameron; the evolution of the action hero; Outside Classics; five films of heinous, hilarious fun; the future of Everest in action films, and critter flicks we love.

The Outside Movie Canon:
  1. Jaws
  2. Breaking Away
  3. Touching the Void
  4. Lawrence of Arabia
  5. Raiders of the Lost Ark
  6. The African Queen
  7. Aliens
  8. Point Break
