I searched the Internet for lists of the best jungle adventure movies of all time. Criteria included the movies being ranked, not just listed, and generally created by groups, whether teams or committees or based on general public voting (like Ranker.com).
I was able to find 19 lists. I took the 19 lists and added all their content into a spreadsheet, noting the rank of every film. I ended up averaging the rankings each movie got (there were 81 that were on at least 2 lists) and dividing that average by a factor of the number of lists that movie was on. The lowest score meant a high ranking average on many lists. The complete spreadsheet is attached at the bottom.
The movies that were on the most lists (out of 19) were:
- Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) – 15 lists
- Jungle Cruise (2021) – 10 lists
- Anaconda (1997) – 9 lists
- The Jungle Book (2016) – 8 lists
- Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012) – 8 lists
- Tarzan (1999) – 8 lists
- The Lost City of Z (2016) – 8 lists
- The Rundown (2003) – 8 lists
- Jungle (2017) – 8 lists
