How often do you watch:

"The Ghost and the Darkness"
"King Solomon's Mines"

The book "King Solomon's Mines" made me want to hunt giraffe, but actual exposure to both giraffe and white rhino has lessened the appeal, though I don't begrudge others the pleasure. "Ghost and the Darkness" just frustrates me with abysmal marksmanship, but it's certainly a pretty movie.

"Zulu" and "Zulu Dawn" probably belong in there somewhere.

I strongly redommend The Macomber Affair (along with the OP's above two, of course).

Dead Pool

I saw those and a few others but did not enjoy them much.My favorite was Hatari-I saw that 2 or 3 times.

Some of these old movies were filmed in TZ. Some were based out of the Arusha Hotel. Lots of old photos on the wall.

Read 'The man eaters of Tsavo'

The naked prey

I tried to watch this about four times and fell asleep half way through, then I gave up.

I'm pretty sure I've watched Hatari on the plane rides of all my African hunts.

Did they have it on the planes movie channel or did you watch it on your lap top?

read it probably as many times as I've seen the movies. I like to re-read all of Jim Corbett's books also...

The only books that I would read again would be Corbett's and Nyschen's.I did not find the Tsavo book interesting.The Tsavo story is interesting but not the book or the movie.

Shaka Zulu, 1986 mini series

Just saw Hatari a couple of nights ago on TV.

I used that movies theme music "ELEPHANT WALK"
for background music when editing a film of my safari in Zambia a few years ago.

...................................................................

In The Blood is one movie we show at our lodge at least once a year and is always appreciated

Hatari and The Ghost and the Darkness.

The Ghost and Darkness, Hatari, King Solomon Mine, are all favorites.

Thanks for that.If I am ever in Tanzania I would like to visit it and take a few pics.

I'd like to watch "The Last Safari" with Stuart Granger again, but can't find it anywhere.

Out of Africa...

"I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills"

Something about British east Africa...it might be a little too "love story" for some but it has some really great safari scenes in it.

The Naked Prey, The African Queen, The Mountain Men, A Man Called Horse, Once Upon A Time In The West

Ebay has a vhs copy for $14.99. It's high priced but the only one out there. The acting sucks but a good story and a hot babe.

That movie is as difficult to find as Song of The South. With the white blonde lady slutting around with the black natives it's probably difficult to find for the same reason -- politically incorrect.

Probably well worth $14.99! Ebay can be a hassle though.

That was a great movie that I have been trying to find for years. If anybody knows how to get it please post!
Zulu, The Naked Prey (I can't understand how anybody could fall asleep in watching it?!!) There are actual stopping shots on charging elephants at the beginning.

I wonder how many working VHS players are left in the world? CITES Appendix 1!

What? You mean you don't have one sitting next to your 8-track tape player?

Nearly 40 years ago I had a job managing an appliance and electronics store. I remember selling VHS and Betamax machines when they were first introduced, typically for about $1,000 or a little more. A few years ago, on a family trip, we visited the Ford museum near Detroit. They had dioramas made to look like rooms from typical homes from past decades. There were a couple of the machines like those I had sold. It sure made me feel old. I'd still like to see that movie again though. I remember the tracker who was killed by an elephant when his wrist watch alarm went off. The watch came from Stuart Granger's (character's) friend, who was killed was by the elephant Granger was tracking. Damn technology!

Nope, it's sitting on my typewriter.

To think my favorite cartridge, the .375 H&H, is 105 this year...gives one pause to recognize real genius

You guys are missing what is probably the most iconic African movie besides Dead Pool - "The Gods Must Be Crazy". Tell me that you cannot watch it just once...

Out of Africa: I wanted to be Finch-Hatton; still do.

You can stream most old movies on YouTube.

I'm more of a Baron Bror von Blixen kinda guy...but I hear ya!

I enjoy most of the ones mentioned above. Mogambo is another one I enjoy.

I kind of liked Mogambo because of the acting and the two pretty ladies.

Also, Khartoum
