At times, it's amazing

Sometimes I forget how great "Raiders of the Lost Ark" really is. Maybe that's because of the hit or miss sequels. Maybe it's because of the theme park attraction and many parodies. But then I sit down to watch it and it all comes back to me. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is really good. It has quite a few moments that are terrific. It's wildly exciting. It's great looking and the music is classic. I saw "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in the theater (Bellerose, NY) and many times since. It's never one of my go-to movies but I'm always glad I picked it.
