A few more movies occurred to me:

The entire Jurassic Park franchise: I know dinosaurs were the primary feature, but with all the
jungle footage, they could have fit in at least one QS scene.

The African Queen. Perhaps Katherine Hepburn was past her prime, but the setting was ripe.

Romancing the Stone: Kathleen Turner could have done a good scene, but all she did was slide
down a muddy slope.

King Solomon’s Mines (the original): I kept waiting for it, but it never came.

Any with annoying supporting characters so the audience could cheer when they sank from sight !

Well, here's some ideas of what could've been :) Claire In Quicksand

I watched one called Northmen: A Viking Saga (2014) a while back. Early on, the captive Scottish (I think) princess started running away from her Viking captors into what looked like it could be a nice boggy area. But alas, the Viking archer shot an arrow in the ground before her, stopping her in her tracks, then Viking leader walked over and reclaimed her. Near the end, there was a bit of a bog/quicksand scene, but with two warrior guys :|
Finally broke down and went to see a psychologist. She told me I just have an overactive imagination—and it really excited her. We're going sinking next weekend. Theo's AI Quicksandbox New stuff every weekend (unless life gets in the way)

Yes. Of all the actresses in the Jurassic Park series, Bryce Dallas Howard (you Claire is her double) would have been the most inviting one to have a sinking scene. Too bad . . . (sigh).

One more movie that gave me hope (and dashed it) while I was watching it was the 2005 remake of King Kong (as good a movie as the original, I thought). While Kong was fighting dinosaurs, Naomi Watts was sloshing around in a swampy area . . . to no avail. It would have been a good scene for Kong to save her from both the T-Rexes and quicksand in the same scene. Oh well, maybe next remake.

YES! I was hoping sooo bad she would, but it was a complete let down :cry: Still, it was a good movie; would've been great if it had a decent quicksand scene.

I tried a few others, but they didn't turn out near as good as BDH (Claire). But I really liked her anyway—I thought it was Kelly Reilly at first until I looked up who she was.
