Treasure hunt movies are kind of cool. Sure, most of them are bad, but they still are kind of cool, and there are some I really enjoyed. That said, the temptation to be lazy and pick the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy was really, really strong this week. But I can't always be lazy so I worked a bit more this time and came up with different films.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)
The first Lord of the Rights prequel, it follows Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he joins Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and thirteen Dwarves on a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug. I'm not going to lie, I don't remember much about this one but I'm pretty sure they were searching for some treasure.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
The third film of the franchise, it follows Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) as he continues his father's (Sean Connery) search for the Holy Grail, which involves finding his father first and then stop the Nazis. Can we all agree that this one is the best of the series? The film is so much fun and entertaining, and the father-and-son dynamics are just wonderful.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
The second instalment of the franchise, it follows Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) as he embarks on an adventure to recover the heart of Davy Jones (Bill Nighty) to prevent his soul from being damned. Did you really think I wasn't going to pick one of these movies? Please! Anyway, this is not my favourite of the series but I still enjoyed it and it's probably the one that fits this week's theme more.
