The original action-adventure movie

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2014)

After 33 years this is still the action-adventure movie that all others strive to be. The movie has everything one could ask for: Bad guy with an eye-patch and a pet monkey, evil Nazis (when are they not evil), wise cracking handsome hero, strong romantic counterpart, scenes from every corner of the world, betrayal, traps and of course snakes.
The first Indiana Jones movie takes some of its inspiration from the James Bond franchise as well as George Lucas earlier ventures in the first two Star Wars movies and the movie only gets better because of it. John Williams, a long time collaborator with George Lucas and the composer of the first Star Wars trilogy compose the score and theme of Indiana Jones. It shows and it is amazing.
After watching Star Wars IV with some friends one of them asked, "how come Harrison Ford became such a huge star and Mark Hamill didn't?" – Watch Raiders of the Lost Ark and you have your answer. Harrison Ford owned the 80s.
If you have nothing better to do this movie always deserve a replay
