Really loved this film. Harrison Ford amazing "We went on an adventure to make an adventure," Spielberg said in 2013 and part of the enduring appeal of the film – which was followed by 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – is the appeal of the charismatic hero figure. Jones is a brave and humorous hero but is allowed to show weakness and be afraid, making the character real. Who can forget the line: "Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?", as he drops a torch into the Well of Souls, revealing a floor crawling with thousands of the poisonous creatures.
