Re: OT-Book/Movie help
Raiders, this remains one of my favorite movies to date. And while your at it, go get the sequels (temple of Doom, Last crusade)....Indy rocks!! (and heck, its basicly Han Solo without the StarWars!)..
(but thats just my choice...though I do hear good things about Platoon, though I've never seen it...)

Re: OT-Book/Movie help
Raiders of the Lost Ark. It already /has/ maps of most of the important places, so it's pretty easy to make a map from that. As a matter of fact, if you're handy with that pause button, making a map of all the important areas in Raiders is about as hard as making a map of all the important places in The Hobbit.
All you need is an Atlas, tracing paper, and a steady hand, or a photocopier.

Re: OT-Book/Movie help
Raiders is great, it is where they got the whole Tomb Raider idea, but I still prefer Indy.
One thing to be aware of, the movie is fiction and some of the locations are fiction. The final scenes with the ark and the cliffs look like they were filmed in Petra, Jordon, but they don’t really pin it down, as it is a mythical location. Going with Platoon would be simpler (less locations) and going with a book would be the simplest, no need to pause. However, the book will take you longer. Just be happy they didn’t give you “Around the World in 80 Days”, that would have taken a while to sort out, even if it was easy.

Re: OT-Book/Movie help
Thin Red Line.
Book is worth the read and it only takes place on 1 to 2 islands in the pacific.
If you like war books then this one will surprise you. Never read a war book like the thin red line.
Movie is good as well
The other choices are good as well
Great Gabsy is a classic.
OT.
I have the Indy soundtrack and kids reader on lp.

Re: OT-Book/Movie help
Thanks for the help.
I've gotten the impression that there are two Versions of Thin Red Line. The selection here is the movie Version, and it's from like 1970, make in Italy..

Re: OT-Book/Movie help
Fargo is a really good movie, and IIRC only takes place in North Dakota and Minnesota.
