Romancing the Stone (1984)

We all dream about running off to exotic climes to participate in high adventure with shady characters who turn out to have hearts of gold. Not many of us make it to the airport let alone plan what to pack. But it keeps us sane when our day takes a turn for the worse like getting splashed by a bus or being cut off by a marauding speeder on the freeway. But it is worth continuing to dream those dreams. Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) is one of those dreamy folks who happens to find herself in Columbia to ransom her sister and literally runs into a profiteering soldier of fortune, Jack Colton (Michael Douglas). While trying to get back to civilization, a misstep sends them both careening down the mud-soaked side of a mountain ending up with Jack’s face ending up planted in Joan’s crotch.
