With director Steven Spielberg near the height of his directing powers, along with the once-assurable talents of George Lucas as a producer before that creative reputation was somewhat sullied, this first and best Indiana Jones movie is an absolute blast from start-to-finish.
It’s the one that started it all!
Raiders of the Lost Ark might not be a totally flawless movie (maybe…) but it’s ultimately pretty damn hard to find an action-adventure blockbuster that’s more enjoyable and consistently entertaining.
Featuring a wide number of great action sequence, memorable lines, great character actions and so many unforgettable moments, it’s everything you could hope to find with a fun night at the movies, plus so much more — and the beginning of the franchise.
