Erica Jong recommended The Country Girls Trilogy in Books (curated)

"A coming-of-age story of two young Catholic girls in Ireland. This is a writer who is a woman, a lover, a daughter, a mother and she tries to bring all that together in her work. So few women writers were doing that in the 1960s. Instead, they were writing through a male persona, because they knew that otherwise they wouldn't be taken seriously. But as O'Brien says, 'I am the mother of sons; my sons have given me joy. I am a lover of men, and men have broken my heart -- but they've also given me joy."

A group of spelunkers are brought into help scientists map a cave system.

The buff cavers and token girl caver arrive and off they go. After finding the remains of a previous caver and a mosaic showing knights vs winged monsters they head off into the cave

The next hour is a lot of swimming, climbing and mauling.

Fun monster film with lots of cool sets.
