A-Z Challenge: Indiana Jones

Good o'l Indy. Indiana Jones is one of the classic movies starring Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. It's the story and tales (if you will) of archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones who travels the world doing tasks and discovering lost artifacts.

Throughout the years, there have been many Indiana Jones released and for the adults out there, you may recall when it first appeared in theater's. I know my father does :P



                     

Raiders of The Lost Ark:
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. -http://www.imdb.com

A-Z Question:
Which is your favorite Indiana Jones movie? Why do you like it? If you could be like Indie would you?


Cheers!

  1. Harrison Ford secured his place with this film. We loved him as Han, and then he did this. My hero.

    1. Harrison did mark a place in history with Indie and he will always be remembered for it.

  2. Last Crusade is my favourite, but All Indy movies (except the last 20 minutes of Crystal Skull) are awesome.

    Technically, I was like Indy for a little while; going into sealed up tombs and whatnot :)

    1. Wow that must be a memorable experience Jeremy. Reciting word for word, that's pretty neat. I can do that with most movies but not Indie :p

  4. Indy is a classic character played by a classic actor. That's why it bugged me when people crapped all over Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. There was nothing substantially different in that movie than in the other three, except for the fact that it traded religious connotations to aliens. Seeing Indy in action again was the reward.

    1. Agreed. As long as we got to see Indie (Indy) again in action, who cares about the story line! lol INDY! INDY! INDY!

  6. The first Indy movie gets my vote. I love all of them but Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark had a unique freshness and breathtaking sensation. The following in the series had a tall order to live up to, much less surpass.

    1. Agreed. The original movies set a high standard for Crystal Skull so people were expecting it to be different.

  7. For the adults out there - hey! I remember seeing Raiders in the theater as a teen. Crap, now I'm an adult.
    And that one is still my favorite. It's the perfect adventure film.
