One of my top ten...

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2002)

I'll never forget the first time I saw this movie. I was six years old and playing behind the couch in my living room. I couldn't see the television from where I was at but I could hear it. Well, my parents were watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. I was sitting back there playing and I heard the music swell as Indy swung from the vine into the river in the amazon. So I looked over the back of the couch and was hooked. I slowly made my way around the couch, never letting my eyes leave the screen and sat and watched the rest of the film. I tell you...it's the music. The story is great but its accompanied by the absolute best "hero" theme song ever, bar none. That music makes this movie for me. I dread the day when Lucas and ILM decide to make a "special edition" version of this film with top notch digital effects. Its perfect as it is.
