the island at the top Of the world (1974)

"If I told you, you would think I was mad."
1907 and four men become explorers as one bankrolls a search for his missing son, lost in the arctic. Using an airship they chance upon a colony of Vikings, and a heap of trouble.
Gung ho, but perfunctory adventure tale, that never really sparks the imagination.

mighty joe young (1998)

"Joe needs me."
Jill Young (Charize Theron) lives in a mountainous region of Africa, and has hand reared a mountain gorilla, she calls Joe, from its infancy. When Prof. Greg O'Hara (Bill Paxton) discovers Joe he persuades Jill that Joe will never be safe from the poachers who killed Joes mother unless he is taken to America, but the poachers are a very determined bunch.
This remake of the 1949 original, makes for an entertaining family film.
