Week 17

Watch a movie about earth, nature or life

Our CineChum DaveRackliff pointed out today is International Mother Earth Day, so what better way to celebrate the earth and nature than to sit inside and watch a movie!

Your options for this week are as varied as you want them to be. One one side of the coin you can look at movies that simply feature a form of nature (Tree, Forest, Ocean) in the title, or an element of nature in the plot.

Your next option is a movie that can be considered to celebrate nature or the beauty of earth by way of it's cinematic landscapes, or a story that explores the Earth's natural beauty.

Finally, you can look at the darker side of nature: cataclysmic catastrophes and natural disasters.

Whatever your mood this week, there's something to fit this challenge!
