This may already be a topic on here and I've missed it. If so please direct me to the right place.
I'm looking for regular movies which have quicksand in them. i.e. Indiana Jones
Do you have a favourite?

A great place to check out is Dave's "Quicksand Movies" website with a list of scenes as well as clips:

As Boggyman points out it's been discussed a few thousand times over the last 20+ years but it's always good.
Vera Miles in
Tarzan's Hidden Jungle has always kind of been the gold standard for damsels in distress - Her voice and breathing go up perfectly as she sinks deeper and deeper. She nails it. Not surprising that his lady was a very good actress with a long resume in Hollywood.

The list referenced by Boggy Man is a very extensive, though now dated, list known as Crypto's List. The latest version I know about is version 26. It is very complete up through about (I think) the mid 2000's, but has not been updated since then.
I firmly believe there are two projects that would be very much of service to the quicksand community, if anyone might be interested in taking one or both of them on.
One would be to compile additions to version 26 of Crypto's List, perhaps as just additional entries if parallel entries can be prepared or otherwise as a separate but similar list picking up from where Crypto left off.
The other would be compilation of a sort of master list of all community-produced videos. Clearly the information for that would be different than that in Crypto's List, which is why it should be a separate compilation in my view. It ought to be fairly easy to obtain information on things from producers who are still active, so much of the labor would probably be searching out earlier materials. I would certainly be cooperative with such a project as far as my own materials are concerned.
