Indiana Jones
There was a time when there was only George Lucas on my adventure horizon along with Star Wars.
That was before Steven Spielberg and George Lucas came along with Indiana Jones.
Indy is one of those characters you just have to like and Harrison Ford is plays him perfectly.
If you have been plagued with modern Hollywood productions that get more and more hollow every year while being pumped with CGI then you need to see these three movies to understand what it was like when Steven Spielberg did more than just bring dinosaurs back from the dead.
This is truly worth enjoying.
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 1981)
When Nazis go after the Ark of the Covenant renowned archeologist Dr. Indiana Jones, is hired by the U.S. Government to reach and secure it before they do. The Ark is believed to contain the original ten commandments. Hitler has other agents who are also after the Ark and the race begins in this roller-coaster adventure that will have you at the edge of your seat repeatedly with brilliant acting, direction, and of course the trademark Spielberg special effects.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (May 1984)
After narrowly escaping death in China, Indy lands (crashes more like) into India along with a night club singer and a sidekick named Short Round. The villagers believe Indy has been sent by God to deliver them from evil. Though skeptical, Indy and his companions soon find themselves caught in a world of occult magic and devil worship as they try to recover the sacred stones of Shiva from Mona Ram, a worshiper of the Goddess Kali. This movie is a thrill-ride that you are not likely to encounter again along with a good dose of laughter.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (May 1989)
The Nazis are at it again. This time their quest is the Holy Grail itself. Though Indy, again, does not believe in all this he is forced to enter the fray when he discovers that his father, brilliantly played by Sean Connery, is missing in action. Indy tracks down Dr. Jones Sr. and from there on the adventure takes on a whole new dimension as father and son begin a joint journey to the Canyon of the Crescent Moon, the last resting place of the Holy Grail. A good tale well told.
