The Adventure movie that kickstarted a whole genre.

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2008)

Raiders of the lost ark is a timeless classic. there now with that said and out of the way I can honestly say I feel that way because Raiders of the lost ark is perhaps the only movie that doesn't promise you anything but it gives you everything a movie lover wants. Clearly George Lucas and Spielberg's love affair with the old serials and old comic books paid off big. This movie is a homage to a age we will never see again the real golden age of movie making. Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones forget the casting of Tom Selleck Selleck could not have pulled it off as well as Ford. Spielberg remarked that they needed a actor of the level of Bogart who both said would've been perfect for the role of Indy. I could see Bogart playing Indiana Jones and Grace Kelly or Lauren Bacall playing Marion Ravenwood while Errol Flynn could've chewed the scenery as Belloq or maybe Rathbone being Belloq. This movie is timeless and any cast from the golden age of Hollywood would've done justice to it. This movie needs to be in every serious movie lover's collection.
