- Sanctum (2011) is a movie about cave divers.
It is based on the story of an Australian cave diver, Andrew Wight, who is also a close friend to director James Cameron.
Definitely impressive 3D pictures of underwater caves and the Sotano de la Golondrinas.

- The Cave (2005) is a horror b-movie about cave divers in a fictitious Romanian cave.
There is a legend about Templar Knights fighting monsters and a treasure.
Adventure seekers follow the legend and find a parasite which turns all species into vampire-like creatures.
More or less annoying plot and even the cave looks often like a mine.

- The Descent (2005)
Not a b-movie, but the plot is nevertheless annoyingly stupid.
At least in the first part, there are fine shots of caves.
The second part is dark and ugly, and definitely filmed in a studio.
Nevertheless, a good rating at IMDB.

- The Clan of the Cave Bear (1986)
This is the film to the famous book of the same name by Jean M. Auel.
The French archaeologist describes the live of Ayla, a Homo erectus orphan girl which is raised by a clan of Homo neanderthals.
The book is fascinating and describing a lot of archaeological knowledge about our ancestors.
The film concentrates on the basic story.
Ayla is played by Daryl Hannah and we guess its poor rating is a result of the annoyance of male viewers about the lack of sexy scenes.
We find this film rather enjoyable.

- Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010)
German title: Die Höhle der vergessenen Träume.
A documentary filmed by the German filmmaker Werner Herzog (Fitzcarraldo, The Bear) in 3D.
He was allowed to film inside the Chauvet caves in the Ardeche valley in Southern France.
Definitely the cave related movie highlight of 2010!
And the only way to see this beautiful cave, which is closed to the public.

- Journey Into Amazing Caves (2001)
An IMAX documentary about caves and caving.
Very good plot, exotic caves, extremely good visual quality.
The DVD is not able to show the movie in an adequate way.
We recommend the BlueRay disc or the IMAX cinema next to you!

- World’s Biggest Cave (2011)
This is the cave documentary by the National Geographic Society about the cave discovery by British cavers in Vietnam.
