(For Saturday 4/9) Raiders of the Lost Ark - 1981

Harrison Ford is just YUMMY. 

Now that I’ve got that out of the way, one of the funnier things about watching this movie is that because I am a huge Weird Al fan, every time I see the first cave scene in this movie, I think of the UHF version which I have seen a kajillion times. Oh, then I think of the Disneyland ride. Have I mentioned yet that I really haven’t watched many of the Indiana Jones movies? And when I have watched them, I have usually been reading a book at the same time.

This movie, the first in the franchise, sets up who Indiana Jones is and what we can expect from a professor who leaves the classroom and tromps out into the wilds of the jungle.

Snakes, spiders, scary things, tombs and passageways and secret entrances and exits –these are the stuff that adventurer’s dreams are made of. This movie definitely helps bring out the adventurer in all of us.
