“It's the classic adventure of the 80s.  Indiana Jones, our hero, kills every bad guy he comes across (and they are Nazis so no loss) in pursuit of a mystical treasure. Eventually he gets caught and tied up but then all hell breaks loose thanks to the magic of the Ark.  I think it was the dark humor that really inspired a ton of action films to come after this. You can see how finding new ways to kill bad guys became an artform starting with this movie.” read more

Basically, with this movie, Steven Spielberg set up the golden rules for this mighty franchise and he introduced to us one of"

"In his early years, Steven Spielberg wanted to direct a James Bond picture with permission from Ion Productions, but to no avail. Meanwhile, George Lucas pitched an idea for a Bond-esque action picture “The Adventures of Indiana Smith” before shifting focus on "Star Wars." So, years later, Spielberg and Lucas got together and gathered producer Frank Marshall and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan to craft the Indiana Jones film series, starting with "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

You know......for kids! (175 movies items)

"From the very beginning, kids watching the movie, will be in for a ride, a long, dark, scary ride. One filled with Nazis, snakes, people throwing spears and a boulder chasing after them. However, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, is even more of a fun house ride, literally. "
