One of the greatest action films of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2012)

Obviously I wasn't even around when "Raiders" came out in the theater, but when I first saw this film, I could immediately see why people say it is possibly the greatest action film of all time.
When that big ball starts rolling down, ready to topple our cocky hero Indiana Jones, Spielberg had me to the end of the film and hours after that. Indiana Jones is a daredevil archaeologist who will do anything and everything to get the piece of history he is after. But when the U.S. government asks him to get the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis do, he may just be in over his head. The movie takes you and our hero from an African jungle, San Francisco, and to the blistering sands of Cairo. And the only time the camera slows down is for a little comic relief is for a little comic relief from Indy's ex-girlfriend who wants to find out why Indy dumped her all those years ago. For those of you who haven't seen it (who are few and far between), drop what you are doing and see it immediately.
