Movies that take place in the jungle

I'm in the mood to see a good movie set in the jungle, I have no idea why.

So help me! What are good movies that take place in the jungle? I'll start by putting forth The Bridge on the River Kwai.

Tears of the Sun. Whether or not it's good or not is for debate.

The Mosquito Coast - one of my favorite Harrison Ford performances
At Play in the Fields of the Lord - lengthy, but worth it IMHO
Medicine Man - eh, I like Sean Connery

A small part of Captain Ron takes place in the jungle, but only because someone didn't listen to a little warning from the good captain.

Chin up, chap. You're an okay kid. I ... smiled.

Pretty much any 'Nam or Korean War movies have their share of jungles.

If I were to go watch one right now, it would probably Apocalypse Now or The Rundown. If you haven't seen The Rundown, it IS a good movie! Some people are just turned off by The Rock or Sean Williams Scott. So they turn their nose up to it.
