Best opening sequence ever...

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 1999)

I remember the opening 10 minutes of this film to be one of the best moments in cinema, where everything just clicked. But as a whole, the movie works on every level and can be enjoyed by everyone. Plain and simply this movie oozes sheer class, including one of the coolest moments in cinema, you know, the part where Jones comes face to face with the Arab wielding swordman...then bang!
I'm suprised this movie didn't win many awards, because for sheer adventure and suspense it is top of the class, and holds up extremely well after repeated viewings. Ford has never been bettered in this type of role.
9/10.
