What was your favorite MountainFilm?

Both the hippo and the elephant movies were very cool, but Pebble got my vote because of the salmon/lifestyle issues.

Wondered if Sowal would be a good elephant location though!

I didn't make it this year, but I did enjoy talking to Dylan of the Pebble Mine film while we were both catching lunch at Fabrice at WaterColor on Friday. Had a nice chat about Anchorage and other Alaska topics.

This year was Pebble Mine vs. Salmon. Almost peed myself when he said Caribou Barbie before the film. My favorite OF ALL TIME was the one about Coco the monkey (three years ago). I also liked the one about surfing the wave down the Nile river (maybe 5 years ago). Now that I am on a roll, The best animation film was The Man Who Planted Trees (maybe first year, maybe second).

Chef Ed might try to roast it.

We're glad you enjoyed the show .... I couldn't hear how many people caught the Palin Barbie reference. It was Bobo, the Sumatran monkey, who appeared in "Gatherers From The Sky" in our first year, 2001 [but maybe we reprised it several years ago? can't remember]. "Pororoca" depicts surfing the bore-tide wave pushing up the Amazon.

And, "The Man Who Planted Trees" remains one of the most enjoyable & important MountainFilms of all time. Look for a special retrospective show for our 10th year, in 2010.

And, as always, thanks for all your fine feedback.

Ahh.... Bobo, the coconut gathering monkey. What was the one about the singer from the Himalayas (Tongan singing maybe??) a few years back. That was one of my favorites. And what is the emcee's name?

Jim Pettigrew.

And we'll never be old. ;-)

How come we never see any of these great films on TV?

Considered the complete sheet and number of reruns that are on most of the time, I would think they would win their time slots handily.
