I remember watching a film as a kid on TV and it was a pretty good film.
My parents are usless and think i made the film up, so im wondering if anyone can help me out, so i can watch it again.
I'll describe the film the best i can, and if you think you might know the title let me know, and i will be so happy 
I guess the film was made about 1995 ish
The story goes like this:
1. There is a woman (Blonde hair) about 30 and she is on a bus. The bus is very old and knackard. Im guessing here, but i think the bus was white and all the peoples luggage is ontop of the bus.
2. The woman is doing a very long jorney across a forigne country through the jungle (i cant remember why)
3. The bus breaks down and its raining really heavily
4. Everybody gets off the bus and they get their suit cases of the roof
5. Some random people in the jungle start shooting at the people from the bus
6. This bits abit sketchy but the woman runs away from the gunmen and slips down big slippy slopes (as its raining)
7. She meets a man, who i cant remember if he was on the bus or in the jungle
8. The man has a dying wish to own a yaught
9. The man in in search of some treasure (cant remember what kind) but what ever it was it could affod him a yaught
10. The woman tags along in the tresure hunt, and wants the tresure to herself.
11. The man has a tresure map and keeps it under his bed
12. So the woman trys to shag him so she could steel the map
13. Lots of stuff happens but i cant rember
14. The man and woman sorta help each other look for the tresure as there were other people after it, so it was a race.
15. there is a massive crocodile and for some reason it has a clue or key to the tresure inside
16. Towards the end of the film they are on the top of a castle (i think) with the crocodile and the bad guys, and there is a fight with guns etc, but the man has to keep and eye on the crocodile as it trys to crawl off the castle so he has to drag it back on, but the croc is massive so he struggles.
17. They get the thing out the crocodile and find the treasure
18. I think the man and woman have an argument and go in seperate directions. Maybe half tresure each.
19. The man buys a huge yaught and it has wheels on and rides it through a town (i think blue sails) and all the pople in the street are like "WOW" and stand back as he waves off the side. (i think a lorry is toeing it)
20. Luckely the woman is in the same street and he invites her to come aboard and they snog.
The End
Hummm hope that makes sence, it might not be 100% accurate as its probably been 12 years since i saw it. I remember seeing it atleast 3 times on normal tv tho.
p.s sorry for the spelling I should go back to school

Lot of use that is

no jewel of the nile is the sequal. Romancing the stone is the 1st film,
i used to get them mixed up but there are actually 2 films, first one is called ' Romancing the Stone' and the 2n one is called 'Jewel of the Nile'
the one he is talking about is romancing the stone.
jewel of the nile is about some asian dude locked up in some tower and they rescue him, nick a plane and get stranded in the desert.. then they find out the jewel of the nile is actually the asian dude they rescued.
