Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of my top ten movies (we're talking Ten Commandments and Ben Hur here). This is the classic old, serial-style movie of yesteryear brought to us in perfection by Lucas and Spielberg. The pacing, editing, cinematography, story, and character development should be a model for other action films of its genre. The sequel, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, fell flat. The third in the series, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, redeemed the series with a great story and the wonderful addition of Sean Connery as Jones Sr. Crystal Skull? Flat again, never to recover. No, nothing can top the roller coaster thrill ride like that of the one that started it all.
