The film that changed and is still changing my life.

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2005)

I first saw this film when I was very young and it has been engrained in my memory ever since. It simply is a wonderful movie and cinema at its entertaining best. I first saw it when I was about 7 years old (I'm 17 now), and although I could not completely fathom it all at first, it still affected me.
One of my favorite things about the film is the score. The score is wonderful and one of John Williams' best. It is not often hailed by his fans as one of his best, but I have always thought it does a wonderful job of capturing the spirit of the film. Everything from the pastoral Grail theme to the motorcycle scherzo to the great (!! my favorite !!) Nazi theme. This is what started such a love for music for me and I am forever grateful to Williams for being the author of a lifelong passion and possibly even a career.
I owe my interest in music and my deep interest in film to this movie If you haven't seen this film, you have to soon. And with the new Widescreen DVD transfer, it looks and sounds better than ever. When you pick up this film at Blockbuster, you truly have chosen wisely.
