    From: J. Delicath (delicath@BLUE.WEEG.UIOWA.EDU)
    Subject: More Ecology, Environmental, Nature films

    Hey folks - yet another round of movies.

  • Dead Ahead: The Exxon Valdez Disaster - made for TV movie.
  • Incident at Snowy River - 2 hour made for TV drama about toxic waste pollution - appeared on TBS around Earth Day 1990.
  • The Toxic Avenger - a comedy.
  • Deadly Harvest
  • Endangered - 1994 about wilderness.
  • The Burning Season
  • On Deadly Ground -Steven Seagal and the threat to Native Alaskans by oil companies.
  • Emerald Forest
  • At Play in the Field of the Lords

    • --- Some Good eco dystopias
  • Soylent Green

  • Logan's Run
  • THX 1138
  • Rollerball
  • Mad Max
  • Blade Runner

    • --- Nuclear Energy
  • The day the Earth Caught Fire - about nuclear testing.

    • There are an interesting array of films that use nature/wilderness as a backdrop in showing humans turn savage - that out of culture, we are like other beasts.

  • Deliverance
  • River Runs Wild
  • Backwoods
  • Snow Kill
  • Lord of the Flies

    • Anyone interested in Disney environmental movies, documentaries, and wildlife films should look at the chapter in Alexander Wilson's: The Culture of Nature: North American Landscape from Disney to Exxon Valdez -- I recommend the book to anyone looking at representations of nature and cultural; contexts where the relationship between humans and nature is played out.

    One last thing - a section of my dissertation is going to look at environmental films - I would love to talk to folks about them.
