Now let's get to it.

Into the Wild (2007)

Ok, we know, the vast majority of you have probably seen this film several times, but it would be a sin not to mention this exceptional film, based on Jon Krakauer's novel about the real story of Christopher McCandless. He decides to leave his home, family and bright future in a corporate environment to conquer the Alaskan wilderness. The movie, which has been asking questions all the time and looking for the right line between the desire for freedom and inclusion in the crowd, was directed by Sean Penn and starring Emile Hirsch.

The Mountain (2017)

It is a documentary, but according to many, it is more of a visual masterpiece. And as they say, watching this movie is the best possible substitute for nature. We need to say The Mountain is more interesting visually than in terms of content, but it still offers a very interesting reflection on what attracts us to the peaks, when until recently the mountains were considered a place of danger and conquering the peaks was considered pure madness.

The Climb (2017)

A little-known French film is a great break in times like these. It is the story of a young man from Paris who decides to prove one young lady his love by climbing the top of Mount Everest. Despite zero experience. It is a film that you will forget in the hours after, but during the 100-minute footage you will have a smile on your face all the time and you will certainly enjoy the authentic shots from the Himalayas and the Everest base camp.

Icarus (2017)

We will move from the mountains to the roads because this is a documentary that cannot escape the attention of any amateur athlete. Icarus was supposed to be the story of an amateur cyclist who documented his experiment with doping. At one point, however, the story reversed 180 degrees and contributed to the revelation of organized state doping in Russia. Not surprisingly, this film won an Oscar for Best Documentary.

The Dawn Wall (2018)

A documentary produced by Red Bull. Dawn Wall is the name of a kilometre-long wall in the American Yosemite National Park, which has long been considered irresistible. However, a pair of climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgenson took up the challenge after six years of careful planning. A very emotional film that not only climbing lovers will fall in love with after watching it.
