My Favorite Movie of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2019)

Raiders of the Lost Ark is a perfect movie in my eyes. Everything about it is timeless, from the amazing score, action, characters, dialogue, romance, writing, direction, comedy, and even a little horror, this movie excels at everything. Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones. He embodies everything this classic character is and anyone else playing him would've likely looked silly. Karen Allen plays the role of a lifetime with Marion Craine, and so does Paul Freeman who played the unforgettable antagonist, Rene Belloq. The whole cast is flawless. This movie also have my favorite score of all time. John Williams sweeping theme song is the cherry on top to an already incredible movie. The script here is also amazing. Lawrence Kasdan took the already great story crafted by George Lucas and Phillip Kaufman and made it into something truly incredible. However most importantly, Steven Spielberg's directing. Every scene is this movie is memorable and I give most of the credit there to Spielberg himself. This is arguably the best directing he's ever done. If you couldn't tell I love Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is the movie that got me intrigued in the art of filmmaking and it inspires me to try to strive high. I recommend this movie to anybody because it is truly a lot of fun. This movie is great and it is my favorite film ever made.
