The opening scene is an incredible blend of excitement, the unexpected, and even humour. The scene in the Mongolian bar is equally good. And that's the problem. No other scene is quite as good, and at least one just doesn't make sense. Indiana Jones is riding a horse and chasing the Nazi convoy which includes a tank. Why is that convoy running away!?!? They're reasonably intelligent Nazis. Why don't they just sort of, you know, stop? What would Indy do then?
No other movie involves the viewer so quickly, but the rest of the movie drops off by comparison. I always watch the first few scenes and skip the rest.

Raiders of the Lost Ark, starring Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood. The story of Raiders is, in my opinion, one of the best in film history and the acting is excellent as well. The story deals with Indy being assigned to an important mission- to obtain the Lost Ark of the Covenant from the evil Nazis. Indy moves from continent to continent, running into old friends (and thousands of poisonous snakes!) along the way. The film's best part is a fantastic chase in which the Nazis try to steal the ark away from Indy who has driven away in a truck which is carrying the ark. The film's conclusion, Nazis being wiped out by the power of the ark, is classic, as Indy and Marion escape disaster narrowly.
"Raiders" is on my list of the Top 10 best films of all time and is one that you will enjoy over and over again.
P.S. Go George Bush!

I've watched this film about 4 times. I don't really know what it's about. I should go out, buy a copy, and watch it about 10 more times.
The story starts off with a expedition into a jungle in search of an old relic. It ends with a finding of a greater one. In between there's a blur.
I think I'm going to buy it. That's all.

It was the summer of 1981 (I wasn't even born yet) and a movie that would give Harrison Ford's career a much-needed bolster with the first chapter in the ultimately successful Indiana Jones trilogy entitled simply "Raiders of The Lost Ark" and this is still light years ahead of it's time especially when placed against countless generic action movies of recent times.
Set in the Dust Bowl year of 1936 Indiana Jones is a world archaeologist who is on the quest of recovering an ancient Artifact called the Lost Ark from a remote tribe in Amazonian Brazil but the ark is being persued by rival archaeologists who are trying to gain a hold of it and turn it over the German Nazi-forces who plan on using to completely take over the world and now with the help of a vixen bartender named Marion Ravenwood, Indie and Marion must recover the ARk and prevent the Nazis from gaining power from the Ark.
This movie is just utterly amazing and has aged so well even after 23 years since it's release back in 1981. The special effects especially by 1981 standards are amazing and hardly look dated. The acting is awesome especially by Harrison Ford as he shows the emotional vulnerability of Indie and Karen Allen is head on Perfect as Marion Ravenwood.
The third part "The Last Crusade" is my favorite of the three Indiana Jones movies but "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" is a very close second favorite tied with 1984's "Temple of Doom".
This is a must-have movie but buy it with the Indiana Jones DVD collection! It is amazing!

This was the most popular film in the summer of 1981, and played to packed audiences. It must have resonated with people's emotions as an action film unlike many others. It starts with an adventure - an explorer travels to a savage society in order to steal their wealth (for scientific knowledge of course). He fails when another adventurer expropriates his winnings, but survives to return to his teaching job at a university. The film shows him traveling in a flying Clipper from the 1930s, but not on a railroad.
It is a good action film, as long as you don't question some of the scenes. Could Nazi Germany have military forces in 1936 Egypt? Could German Schmeisser sub-machine guns be found in 1936 Nepal? I don't believe so. I suspect these scenes were copied from the 1940 serials that entertained moviegoers. "Indiana Jones" will entertain you as an action adventure story with a multitude of cliches from long-forgotten films. Sliding under the truck recalls Yakima Canute's famous stunt. Some scenes seem far-fetched to me (when you think about it). Could Indiana Jones on a horse overtake a convoy of trucks? The theme music came from the 1948 film "Don Juan" starring Errol Flynn (rarely seen on TV). The chase through the maze of streets reminds me of 1940 cartoons. Other scenes may be derived from other old movies (the truck knocking down scaffolding from "Abbot & Costello Meet the Keystone Kops"). A few sequels were made, but it failed to be translated into a television series. Just like "Jaws".
