Brave, bold movies

MANILA, Philippines - People will always be looking for adventures. But how daring can you go? Would you climb the highest mountain? Would you dive into the deepest part of the sea? Would you explore the forest? Would you venture into a cave?

Being bold and daring may sound cool, but it pays to be careful and know your limits. Watch these movies and find out why.

Anaconda films. The film series usually follows a group of daring explorers or scientists going into the wild and ending up being attacked by gigantic snakes. It may seem senseless that they still push through knowing that there can be danger but they are who we call “daringly adventurous.”
