Never Cry Wolf (1983)

This is the second film directed by the great Carroll Ballard. Like his first film, "The Black Stallion" (1979), it also deals with themes of isolation and human/animal relationships. Utilizing stunning cinematography and music, this is a grand adventure in the far north. Based on Farley Mowat's semi-autobiography of the same name, it tells about a man sent to uncover the reason behind the decline of caribou herds.

This is my favorite film of all time.

Just bought the movie off of Amazon. I hope it's as spectacular as the book was.

I love this movie. It is one of my favorites. There are, however, flaws to the wolf argument. I do hunt and I read. Wolfs will attack a large mammal (especially the young) and often will kill for fun leaving the meat to rot. Wolf is a beautiful predator but like any such creature it needs to be managed. Too many wolfs equal no Caribou or Elk...

Wolves would never waste the hunt on humans, they know that first chance it gets it will pull a gun out and murder them

If he shoots the wolf, I swear to god.. He's such a fucking ho bag D:

@anonamiso - I am happy for you anonamiso. Very few go within, truly. It takes courage.

[anonamiso]

@druidia9 I agree. Magical one of my favorite films ever. Defines solitude that most people never crave or understand..but, I do.

First saw this years ago at a Cinesphere ( Imax ) 70mm Film festival in Toronto. The opening credits alone were worth the price of admission! Thanks for posting.
