Gunga Din...Heath cool write-up for a classic film. Gunga Din is a true classic and one that I have not seen in such a long time. I can remember watching it along with Zulu (1964), and the Man Who Would Be King (1975) many times as a elementary school aged kid with my Dad. Not sure what that says. <br /><br />I have also read that another inspiration for Indy was "The Stranglers of Bombay" (1959). I watched it during SCM, less classy than ol' Gunga Din; more of an adventure/horror picture but it tells the story of a couple East India Company men battling the Thuggee Cult. Might be worth tracking down if you are feeling Thuggee or Imperial.<br /><br />I think I will make a double feature for myself this weekend out of "Gunga Din" and "The Man Who Would be King".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475027751253870681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-67309704999904673572015-03-12T16:54:39.190-05:002015-03-12T16:54:39.190-05:00I'm with you, Andy. I hate that the adventure ...I'm with you, Andy. I hate that the adventure movie is on the decline these days, but there are thankfully a TON of them from years past. I think you'll have a good time with <i>Gunga Din</i>.

I love...I'm gonna have to check this movie out. I love adventure movies, and they're a really rare breed these days. Every now and then we get a glimmer of what they used to be (like John Carter or maybe even National Treasure) but they're dying out to make way for action and comic books. As a kid I grew up with big family adventures, like Spielberg movies and even those Homeward Bound movies where telepathic dogs and a cat go on a cross-country expedition. I hate that that genre faded off. I've been meaning to delve into some of the classic adventure films as therapy for this hole in my heart, and this one looks like a good place to start.Andy Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324674060230571696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-80575202704700938452015-03-11T14:57:46.548-05:002015-03-11T14:57:46.548-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475027751253870681noreply@blogger.com
