Outside Goes to the Movies
Wild At Heart
Three Critter Flicks We Love

By Katy Neusteter


Intro | Jaws | Breaking Away | Touching the Void | Lawrence of Arabia | Raiders of the Lost Ark | The African Queen | Aliens | Point Break | The Black Stallion | Blazing Saddles | Evolution of the Adventure Hero | Outside Classics | Bad Movies Made Good | Everest in the Movies | Critter Flicks | The Summer's Hot Releases | Q&A: James Cameron

Winged Migration (2001)
The Skinny: An amazing wing-side view of our feathered friends migrating thousands of miles over all seven continents—starring grebes and geese and gannets. Oh, my.
Beastly bonus: Thanks to cams mounted on planes, gliders, and balloons, every shot is a how'd-they-do-that thrill ride.

Babe: Pig in the City (1998)
The Skinny: Babe, the indomitable oinker (pictured above) who wins a sheepherding contest for his master, Farmer Hoggett, comes to the rescue once more, this time by traveling to the big city to raise money and save the farm.
Beastly bonus: This noirish sequel offers some of the same apocalyptic ferocity seen in the Mad Max trilogy (films also directed by George Miller). A visual feast, it brilliantly captures the perilousness of being an animal, and an outsider, in a cruel bipedal world.

Jurassic Park (1993)
The Skinny: A tropical island's worth of hungry, terrifying, life-size dinosaurs—and some of them are smarter than you.
Beastly bonus: The best T. rex scene on film, featuring a theater-shakingly loud specimen out to get two kids trapped in a truck. (And who wouldn't want to see dinos try to eat Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, too?)
