Raiders of the Lost Ark

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 1999)

Speilberg and Lucas' homage to those classic adventures of the 1930's and 1940's is an interesting mix of adventure, suspense and humor. Ford is perfect as our hero and he is given support by a fine supporting cast, including Rhyes-Davies, Freeman and Karen Allen. In the 1980's, Indiana Jones became an even bigger hero than Superman. He had that charm. He had that style. He had that look. He still has all of that and much, much more. The film is always worth a few more viewings. Followed by 2 very successful sequels.
