A movie so good, 10 pictures aren't nearly enough. The best adventure film ever. I've seen this more than any other film and it's perfect every time. A+

Terrific introduction for Harrison Ford's best character.

The idol

A ridiculous sunset

The incomparable Karen Allen, perfect in every way, a pre-feminist matching Indy (and Spielberg) at every turn.

Fire

Indy knees a dude in the balls

A little sense of humor goes a long way

Explosion

The map room. (Who needs CGI when you have story, character, and dialogue?)

Comedy = Tragedy + Time

The best villain of the series

An even more ridiculous sunset

Snakes

The ark

Indy takes a beating

More great shadows and light

Indy's escape

The truck sequence is my favorite

Mystery, faith, and righteousness give the film unexpected depth

A terrific cynical wrap-up.
I rewatched the Last Crusade last night and one thing I never had picked up on before was how much they use Indy's shadow with the hat on.
ReplyDeleteI noticed it again in one of the pictures you'd listed...it's not often one finds an action film that has an eye for depth.
