ISO: "Desert theme" movies

I admit it--I'll watch just about any movie, forgiving all poor direction and bad acting, as long...as it takes place in the desert. (It's my weak spot.)

I did a search on here and found zilch. I looked on a search engine and found a few prospects. But I wanted this community's opinion.

Examples of movies I've seen include:

1. "Faster Pussycat"
2. "Pitch Black" (okay, so it's outer-space, but it looks like the desert)
3. "Dancer, Texas"
4. "Lillies of the Field"

...to name some.

Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

These are the 5 best that I can come up with off the top of my head on a lonely Friday night:


5. The World's Fastest Indian
Okay, okay, technically, this story in centered on the Bonneville Salt Flats, but the wide expansive scenery is just as cool as any desert themed background.
However, if this still doesn't count for you, then replace this entry with a hearty dose Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas, & a shot or two of LSD.
But if the surreal gonzo isn't your thing, then just scrap these two suggestions & watch the first part of Star Wars: A New Hope. I'm sure there's more than enough of inland sand featured in that first act to satiate any dry-heated cravings that may be gnawing at your soul.


4. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
If just for the fact that it's one of the best of the spaghetti westerns which includes a great end scene involving a mexican graveyard in the desert.


3. Them!
Ants.
Atomic radiation.
The desert.
You do the math.


2. Lawence Of Arabia
Uhmnn....
I'm sure you've heard of this one.


1. Road Warrior


Okay, the previous entry may have a Lawerence Of Arabia, but this movie has an Ayatollah of Rock-n-Rolla. Not to mention a feral wolf-boy with a boomerang. And a super kick-ass car-chase. And alotta heavy authentic "outback" Australian accents. Oh, and more S&M costumes than a German hardcore porn video (or so I heard...).
So, y'know....
there you go.
