It still thrills and chills

Rating: Null/10 (5 March 2002)

This was the big budget adventure that started it all: spinning off two sequels, a TV show, and still influencing films today (The Mummy movies, for example). Offering adventure, chases, sneering villians, goofy sidekicks, romance, stunts, and lots of humor, it's not hard to see why ROTLA is such a beloved movie. Could anyone else besides Harrison Ford really play Indiana Jones? I loved the chemistry and fire and ice relationship between Indiana and Marion (Karen Allen), and of course Indiana's classic line "I HATE snakes!" It would be great if the whole Indiana Jones trilogy was re-released in theaters, much as ET is going to be in a couple of weeks. Steven Spielburg and George Lucas, are you listening??
