Nature lovers

Here is a double feature for those of you who love the great open wild. The recommendation is first from 1981, "Continental Divide" followed by, from 1983, "Never Cry Wolf." Both movies feature modern man adapting to nature again.

"Continental Divide" stars John Belushi as Ernie Souchak, a hardened Chicago newspaper columnist sent to the Rocky Mountains to interview Blair Brown as Dr. Nell Porter, an eagle researcher.

"Never Cry Wolf" stars Charles Martin Smith as Farley Mowat, an underprepared researcher of wolves on the Canadian tundra.

Both movies are alive with humor and beauty as people we can relate to fight to make peace with wilderness.
