Geocaching films

[+SidAndBob]

Having not watched one of my favourite films for a few years, I saw the end of The Shawshank Redemption in a whole new light tonight. When Red goes off to find the hidden cache, under a pile of rocks next to a lone tree, it certainly rang some bells.

Despite having seen it countless times, when he opened the plastic bag, whilst looking around for muggles, I almost expected him to pull out a log book and sign it.

 

Are there any films that remind you of geocaching?

[+Delta68]

Yes!

I thought that, although it's the book Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption that springs to mind more than the film though. The part where he is instructed to look by a wall in a field for a stone which has no right to be there.

 

I wonder if it had the official Groundspeak logo on it.....

I hope it wasn't a Dry Stone Wall

It was - I doubt he had "adequate" permission to put it there either........

This is a question that comes up... well, every time Shawshank Redemption is shown, really. Star Trek Nemisis (aka the even-numbered one which isn't any good) has Picard and chums looking for bits of android (Data's younger brother, B-4) with a handheld device which gives a distance and bearing. All a bit cachey. Then there's It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World....

I watched the end of the film too and chuckled when I seen that part.

We both said "ooooh he's geocaching!" at that point too!

I was watching an episode of Lost once and i remember Locke saying "we'll find the hidden cache" or something similar,and i looked at my boyfriend (non-cacher) and he looked back at me as if to say "DONT SAY IT!"

Ahhh, the non-caching partner. You just have to bite your lip some times.

I used to sell Atari Jaguars and remember that game well. Someone should do an 'Alien Detection' skin for GPS software running on PDAs

amelie seems to have some aspects of geocaching. she finds a hidden and forgotton old tin with childhood trinkets inside the wall of her apartment and after tracking down the original owner she mysteriously leaves him a set of clues and instructions to find a surprise. there are a few other scenes also that are alike to geocaching.

That one was the very first film that came to my mind lol..........that mad bunch all running around a park looking for the big 'W'.

What's Up, Doc? starring: Barbra Streisand, Ryan O'Neal comes to mind.

Strangely am watching this film just now, still a very good film.

I have just watched the latest episode of Spooks, BBC3 17/11 (will be repeated on BBC1 next week). After about 48 minutes there is a PAF followed by a cache hunt in what I think is the tunnel under the Thames at Greenwich.

We watched that and Mrs Scoff turned to me and said "She's found a geocache"
