Hollywood's Best Treasure Hunting Movies

Hollywood has produced a number of treasure hunting movies. What are your favorites? I just watched Elvis Presley bit with gold fever in Easy Come, Easy Go (1967). Love the classic The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948).

Here is a good link to the best treasure hunting movies to refresh some memories:

And remember what Walter Huston said in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre: "Aah, gold's a devilish sort of thing, anyway. You start out, you tell yourself you'll be satisfied with 25,000 handsome smackers worth of it. So help me, Lord, and cross my heart. Fine resolution. After months of sweatin' yourself dizzy, and growin' short on provisions, and findin' nothin', you finally come down to 15,000, then ten. Finally, you say, 'Lord, let me just find $5,000 worth and I'll never ask for anythin' more the rest of my life.'" :icon_sunny:
