Which DVD's would I need for a Pulp Action/Adventure marathon?

[Goodsport]

Here's the list I've made thus far (preferably in Widescreen format):

• Raiders of the Lost Ark
  
• Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
  
• Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
  
• King Solomon's Mines
  
• Alan Quartermain and the City of Gold
  
• Lost Horizon
  
• The Rocketeer
  
• The Shadow (unfortunately, no Widescreen version could be found to this point)
  
• The Phantom
  
• The Mummy
  
• The Mummy Returns
  
• The Scorpion King

I'm sure there are others, though... aren't there?

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

You could just keep watching the Indianna Jones movies again and again.

 

[EricNoah]

Flash Gordon maybe?

Conan The Barbarian, anyone?
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (well, depends on how you define "pulp", "action" and "adventure", I guess)
The Sword and the Sorcerer

 

[Barendd Nobeard]

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (well, depends on how you define "pulp", "action" and "adventure", I guess)

Oh, I'd say it definitely fits, but it's not on DVD and the VHS retails for $80. The opening monologue is great:

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Violence. The word and the act. While violence cloaks itself in a plethora of disguises, its favourite mantle still remains - sex. Violence devours all it touches, its voracious appetite rarely fulfilled. Yet violence doesn't only destroy. It creates and moulds as well. Let's examine closely then this dangerously evil creation, this new breed encased and contained within the supple skin of woman. The softness is there, the unmistakeable smell of female. the surface shiny and silken. The body yielding yet wanton. But a word of caution: handle with care and don't drop your guard. This rapacious new breed prowls both alone and in packs. Operating at any level, at any time, anywhere and with anybody. Who are they? One might be your secretary, your doctor's receptionist, or a dancer in a go-go club!

Tura Satana rocks my world. She can hit me with a Karman Gia ANY time.

 

[Barendd Nobeard]

Tura Satana rocks my world. She can hit me with a Karman Gia ANY time.

She certainly makes that movie!

Tommy: "What's your point?"
Varla (Tura): "It's of no return, and you've reached it!"

Big Trouble in Little China. Not set in the 1930 or 40's, but pulp IMO.

 

[Swoop109]

If you can find it, there was a film made some years back called, "Nate and Hayes". It's set pre-WWI and stars a younger Tommy Lee Jones. Well worth the effort to find.

 

[Psychotic Dreamer]

Not exactly set in the time period, but it definetly seems pulp to me: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.

I would suggest both the Flash Gordon movie from 1980 and the serials from the '30's, 40's and 50's. I haven't seen the Flash Gordon serials, but everything points to them being quite good.
Flash Gordon (1980)
Flash Gordon - Space Soldiers
Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars
Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe
Flash Gordon - Spaceship to the Unknown
Flash Gordon - The Peril from Planet Mongo
Flash Gordon - Classic TV Series
Flash Gordon - The Purple Death from Outer Space
