What's not to like?

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2008)

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" has gotta be one of the greatest action-adventure films ever made. The mid '70s to the '80s were when Spielberg and Lucas were REALLY on top of the world! When I first saw it, it was kinda boring 'cause there were so many scenes that I really didn't think shoulda been in the film. The scene where the Ark gets opened could be one of the scariest ones ever. Sometimes, I even like to watch the whole thing in B&W 'cause it really helps the movie. It's simple as that.
It's a shame Hollywood don't put out much movies like this these days. Temple of Doom is my all-time Indy favorite, unless or if Indy No. 5 comes out (I know it will 'cause they'd be stupid not to do it!).
John Williams' score is REALLY good. Enough said. This is one of those films that I wish I coulda been old enough to go see.
