This is the definitive adventure film for me, has a very interesting artifact, riveting action, a solid villain, and introduces indiana jones perfectly.

I know it's hard to believe, but I have never seen the first Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark before. I guess I was busy that year. But because the franchise is supposedly coming to an end, or at least as far as Harrison Ford…

With the fifth instalment of the series (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny) arriving in theatres, I have watched the first film of the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Starring Harrison Ford as the fearless…

Lucas may have been inspired by the serials of his youth, but he got the plot, nearly scene by scene, from the Jean Paul Belmondo movie, L'homme de Rio (That Man from Rio), which the library has. Highly recommended.

Always fun even after all the years. Spielberg made this with his remembrance of Saturday afternoon movies when he was a kid and that's what I kept remembering as I watched this. I suppose in 30 years many might feel the same about many…

RETITLED for the DVD release, the forty-year-old film still carries the title, "Raiders of the Lost Ark." It's a fun, light-hearted romp, something that twelve-year-olds can watch over and over again, and adults can enjoy as well, though…

This is my favorite movie. The folks who responsible for all those interchangeable Marvel movies should take a look at how to make a real movie that people will actually go back and enjoy watching again.

For the most part I quite enjoyed watching "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" (from 1981) which was a Steven Spielberg production. Filmed on a substantial-sized budget of $18 million - This action/adventure story (set in 1936) was produced in…

An exciting story about fighting Nazis and failing to do anthropology.

My favorite movie of all-time is Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is the first film I ever saw. I was five & immediately fell in love with Harrison Ford's character, Indiana Jones, just from that one scene where he takes out his whip & whips a…

I feel that Indiana Jones is a very well-known, classic adventure movie. The story was interesting, and the characters were likeable; however, I found myself getting bored at times. I think that, compared to some of today’s action scenes…

The scene at the end with the Nazis definitely scarred me as a kid, but this is a great action/adventure film!

For the sort of movie that it is (a children's action adventure, like an unanimated cartoon) its five stars. If one is a child, it would be fun to watch. But, for normal people, its so hokey and immature that it takes some effort to sit…

Excellent film. The story works well and the special effects still hold up very well. Originally rated PG (PG-13 wasn't created until after the release of Temple of Doom and first used for Red Dawn), it's violent and scary in places, but…

It is a little violent, I will admit. I would recommend this movie to teens and adults, I would not recommend it for kids. Aside from the adventure and action movie, there was a humorous side. I was rolling on the floor when the Nazi's…

The original Raiders movie is a rather terrific action adventure. If Star Wars didn't exist, Harrison Ford would still have a top billing career off of this one performance.

It was like a roller coaster - non-stop action almost the entire way! I enjoyed the film, although the superstitious views held by the Nazis and other people surrounding the Ark of the Covenant put me off.

*Favourite "Indiana Jones" quote* - "I hate snakes!" For having just a PG-13 rating - I was completely taken by surprise by all of the violence, gore, and bloodshed that prevailed in this top-notch Action/Adventure film from…
