5 of 1001 Raiders of the Lost Ark

What a great film brought to us by the genius minds of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. I love the idea of a person living a double life. By day Indiana Jones is an Archaeologist Professor by night he's adventurer extraordinaire who is a true ladies man.

I loved this film in that it was adventurous, it was scary, and it had melting wax dummies of evil Nazi's. What else could you ask for? Also you have Harrison Ford shooting a sword brandishing sheik all of which was completely improvised due to Harrison Ford not feeling well the day of the shoot. Still one of the most famous scenes that cracks me up each time I see it.

This film is on my list of repeat viewings. Not many films get on the list due to losing their luster after the first viewing. Raiders of the Lost Ark is still fun and enjoyable even after all these years.
