Adventure
245 films·1912–2025·Peak: 1930s·Avg rating: 6.2
Characters venture into an exotic or unfamiliar setting drawn by discovery, wonder, or the experience itself — treasure, knowledge, the unknown — with horror as the obstacle between them and what they came for. The pursuit must be intrinsic; paid missions and forced escapes don't qualify.
