"In One Word: EXCELLENT"
Added 1/26/2010
One of the highest money making films of all-time, "Raiders of The Lost Ark" was released in June, 1981 and became the biggest money maker of 1981, propelling Harrison Ford into superstardom, and making action/adventure films the new wave of movie-making. Spawning several sequels, "Raiders of The Lost Ark" features Ford as a sexy professor/archeologist attemting to keep evil Nazis from stealing a piece of gold worth millions. Steven Speilberg directed this masterpiece which is filled with an excellent, exciting script, beautiful location, and action packed sequences. Most movie buffs agree that this gem is one of the best films ever made. "Raiders of The Lost Ark" was nominated for a slew of Oscars, winning five. The perfect companion for a Saturday afternoon, the movie was based on the short action adventure pictures from the 1930's and '40's and the movie producers were successful on all counts. This DVD comes as a sole standalone disc and it is also available in a deluxe boxset with other "Indiana" films which include a wonderful bonus DVD.

Added 1/22/2010
The year is 1936. A professor who studies archeology named Indiana Jones is venturing in the jungles in South America searching for a golden statue. Unfortunately, he sets off a deadly trap doing so, miraculously, he escapes. Then, Jones hears from a museum curator named Marcus Brody about a biblical artifact called The Ark of the Covenant, which can hold the key to humanly existence. Jones has to venture to vast places such as Nepal and Egypt to find this artifact. However, he will have to fight his enemy Renee Belloq and a band of Nazis in order to reach it. If you like movies, then Raiders is a movie that will not let you down. Raiders of the Lost Ark is pure entertainment,and that is what makes it the classic that it is.

My VHS tape finally wore out; this was the perfect replacement-and-upgrade to my Indiana Jones collection, at a great bargain.

Behold the Ark!
Added 9/22/2009
This is one of the earlier Spielberg films that I truly admire. Along with Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jaws, Duel, Schindler's List, Empire of the Sun, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade, [Indiana Jones & The] Raiders of the Lost Ark is one that I can watch straight through. It has almost everything you can hope for: great action, spectacular cinematography, lovely sets, and some iconic shots and quotes. I'm not really a fan of John Williams (his excessive use of the trumpet is overrated), but his catchy theme for this movie really hits big-time. There are some quarrels I had about this movie (like Marian being the typical damsel in distress), but other than that, I find this to be a very fine movie. I still prefer The Mummy when it comes to this sort of genre, but Raiders is no doubt an ultimate classic in this case.
