Do I have to go see the last movie? Because that would be torture.

I saw the first "Indiana Jones Movie" at the Hill Top Drive In in Joliet. I was with the lady I was dating at the time.

Tom Selleck of Magnum PI fame was slated to play Indiana Jones, but due to his Magnum obligation, Harrison Ford got it. You think it would have been better or worse with Tom Selleck?

Remember. If Selleck had played Indy, there would have been NO Magnum to compare him with!!!

Hmmm... I've seen Selleck in a few action films and he was pretty good. 'Quigly Down Under' is another of those films I watch every time it airs. I think he would have done fine as Indiana, though it would have been a completely different character. Ford just basically continued playing his Star Wars character.

I saw the first Raiders movie with my sister. She was doing a book report on it for school. She didn't like it!!! I think she was adopted.

Well to be completely honest, NeverMore, I thought the first "Indiana Jones" movie was a nice 'pop corn' flick, but a little off the wall and not really a "classic" IMHO. I did like the cinematography, though, and some of the action. "Don't cal me junior!!!" Or was that the 2nd movie? Anyway, I enjoyed some of the sequals a lot more. I particularly like the very last one, where Indiand Jones is in this old temple where the dead ancient aliens are burried, and theyr skeletol remains are actualy crystal instead of bone.

I was one of those people who didn't like Raiders initially. I have warmed up to it in the decades since. But then, when I saw it, we weren't expecting to see it. We had gone to see something else, and instead we got this sneak preview of a new action film. So maybe I just wasn't mentally prepared for the kind of movie it was. I think it was a deliberate re-invention of those old Saturday afternoon movie serials you hear about, the ones they used to show kids back in the '30s and '40s, before there was TV.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" did seem to have a lot of simularities to those 'cliff-hangers' you mentioned, Murf. I liked it primarily because I was allways fascinated by the mystery surounding the Ark of the Covenant.

I don't remember the names of all of them, but my husband and I liked the third one. Was that The Last Crusade? It was the one about the Holy Grail.

I think it was "The Last Crusade," Murf, but I can't swear to that.

Correctamundo!

The second movie was the prequel, which takes place in India.

A lot of people liked all of them, Witchy. That's why there were so many sequals. That's what makes any movie successful.

Yeah Mike, but it doesn't always work that way. There were four Crow movies but each one got progressively worse. The TV series wasn't half bad though. Sad to announce, they are apparently going to remake The Crow. That is one movie I think should be untouchable since Brandon Lee literally gave his life for it.
