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.

  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
