2. L'Atlantide (1921)

This French-Belgian silent film directed by Jacques Feyder – the original Atlantis movie – was the first of many adaptations of French author Pierre Benoit’s best-selling novel L'Atlantide, in which two French army officers become lost in the Sahara Desert and stumble across Atlantis. It’s ruled by Queen Antinéa, who has a saucy and peculiar habit of taking captives as lovers, then embalming them in gold when she’s bored of them.

Journey to the Center of the Earth was a 1959 movie based on Jules Verne's novel.

The film was shot entirely on location in the Sahara, at a cost of a whopping two million Francs. That made it the most expensive French film to date, but luckily it proved a massive success at home and abroad, despite lasting for the best part of three hours.
