I ordered those two movies on Amazon the other day, finally got them and watched them. "The Nugget" was pretty funny...I laughed a lot. The other one was good, a little cheesy but you have to expect that from lower budget films. It had some decent action scenes though. Thanks for helping me add them to my collection.

There's "Wet Gold", a 1984 Brooke Shields film.

Her version of "Treasure of the Sierra Madre", but about divers in the Bahamas
instead of miners in Mexico.

Better than it sounds.

Seems you left out the comedy "Rat Race"!!!!
