@@jarrodedson5441 I'll agree it's an excellent film, better than the awful Temple of Doom, and Connery is an absolute joy to watch, but it's just not as satisfying as Raiders.
@@jtgd Raiders was a product of a time now long dead in Hollywood. Filmed in real locations, practical effects done in camera, stuntmen doing what they do best, beautiful matte paintings, and old school special effects. These days it's CGI everything and green screen in a studio, it just doesn't even come close.
"Raiders" was definitely Spielberg & Lucas at their best. Hiring Ford to portray Dr. Jones was perfect, too. And though I love Tom Selleck in certain roles, I'm *VERY* glad he wasn't cast as Jones. Same with Sean Young. That would've been terrible. Karen Allen was super ideal as Marion, too.
Ford is Indiana Jones for me, but I honestly don't think Selleck would have been bad or anything. He would have played it a bit differently, a bit stiffer and more intimidating (he's noticeably taller and broader), but he could have done the role well enough. I can imagine an alternate universe where he took the role and the movie is probably still regarded well, but probably not as well as our version.
There is nothing original in this film, but it is and more than likely will continue to be the greatest adventure serial transformed to film cut that we will ever see. I saw this as a 14 year old lad when it came out, and it still gives the same thrills and **ck Yeah attitude like it did in 1981...Yeah...and there are only three Indiana Jones movies.
This movie is my gold standard for action/adventure films. Not only has it held up these many years but it only gets better every time I see or hear it.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is the greatest action movie ever. And before anyone says anything about Die Hard, Raiders has A LOT more action than Die Hard, where John McClain spends a large amount of the movie hiding from the terrorists. Raiders is pure action all the way through
yesterday i watched Temple of Doom (because it is basically a prequel to Raiders) and i was impressed by how damn good the movie just is. I almost forgot how creative it is.
The original trilogy are my childhood favorite movies! I still love them to this day. These movies made Steven Spielberg my favorite Director of all time. Harrison Ford my my favorite actor of all time and Indiana Jones my favorite movie character of all time.
My jaw hit the floor at the end when the nazis opened the Ark. I felt like I shouldn't be watching it either and yet I could not take my eyes off the screen for pure joy. No film has ever made me feel that way but many have come close.
I first saw this film under the best and worse conditions... its opening at Grauman's in Hollywood but the only seats available were in the front row so I came out with a stiff neck. Still, I got to interview the star, the producer, "and the rest" (writer and editor) for our film school under questionable circumstances. This movie was a smorgasbord as well as a full meal. They don't come much better.
I agree. For some reason I don't like the 3rd so much, but lots of people do. This is perfect balance, didn't have any stupid humour, serious movie but appeals to everyone.
The editing made this film the best, it was so inspired. They would mention something in one scene, u think was inconsequential, then the next scene would be readdressed to show that it was a major plot point; that awareness is what makes the direction amazing, really digging into the story, believing in the story, you could tell that the people behind the cameras were INTO the make believe of it. No hesitation, or suspension of disbelief. Maybe it's the religious aspect nof it, that really gave it soul. In TOD, the same, spiritualism is apparent. Last crusade, the same.
Completely agreed!! 🙌 Why Hollywood doesn't make this kind of outdoorsy treasure hunt action adventure movies anymore??? What's stopping them?? BUDGET??? Over dependence on CGI??? 80's were the best era of such movies 💰💸❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
i just watched this today! a downtown theatre is featuring raiders and last crusade as part of their $5.00 rerun movie series as a buildup to dial of destiny. it's great to watch it on a big screen for the first time :D the "raider's march" isn't a song, but a piece - songs have lyrics.
Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture but won for: Best Visual Effects Best Sound Effects Best Sound Editing Best Production Design Best Film Editing.
Chariots of fire won, great movie, I did some research, chariots of fire was last shown on any USA TV channel 1999 since then not on once, in the UK it was shown in 2015. Raiders is shown all the time and watched all the time like it's your first time
À masterpiece of Modern Action Cinema 🎥. The third part Last Crusade has always been my favourite part of the series but this was. A great introduction to Harrison Ford's introduction to the legendary Indiana Jones. It was the only one in the series not to have Indiana Jones in the title like it's sequels. Although in recent years it has been renamed on posters to include Indiana Jones in the title. Classic filmmaking back in the day when everything was done in practical effects.
Dude! Very clever!! Purposely mispronouncing several of the character’s names just to get the nerd types (like me) to write a comment pointing out the errors helps to boost the video in the algorithms. It’s a diabolically genius move! Hats off to you!
Excellent video, but it would have been nice if the narrator had also mentioned "Raiders of the Lost Ark's" influence in television with shows like "Bring Em Back Alive" with Bruce Boxleitner and "Tales Of The Gold Monkey" with Stephen Collins.
@@rickwhite7028 I think story, humor, and character wise, especially villain wise, Last Crusade is better. Opening, climax, and action all still go to Raiders. Harrison Ford acted his ass off in the first film.
@@yugiohgames104 The tone of the first film is perfect and the humor is over the top in Crusade in my opion. Crusade is my 3rd favorite of the first group actually. All later films are trying to live up to the first which is the best movie of all time (maybe Lawrence of Arabia is first. I go back and forth).
We just had this discussion and poll on The Real BBC with Nerdrotic, AZ, and Mauler. The same time you released this video. I think it is. The voting came down to Empire and Raiders. Empire win at 52% it was very close the whole time and if they would have left it up longer I think it would have been dead locked.
1981 looks like a year for movies that "hold up" on to this day - An American Werewolf In London, For Your Eyes Only and Raiders Of The Lost Ark et al. I've yet to see 'Dial Of Destiny', here's my preference for each episode: Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Last Crusade, Temple Of Doom and Crystal Skull. Whilst a good number of people credit Spielberg and Lucas et al for creating the project/franchise, don't ever forget Stunt Coordinators and stunt performers in staging brilliant action scenes. Most iconic is where Jones is thrown out by an enemy on to that bonnet and ends up being dragged, then gets back in : performed by veteran Terry Leonard - whose credentials in movies say it all - moviemaking doesn't get much better than this.
Harrison ford negotiated a 7 figure salary and a percentage of the profits. And Spielberg (with Lucas) dedicated the rest of their lives to avenging this. With Crystal Skull, TFA and DoD, I'd say mission accomplished
Same here: as lead villain, noted Indian Actor Amrish Puri is fantastic beyond words, despite Puri being frightening, according to Harrison Ford, he's a gentleman in real life.
Exactly. To me the original Indiana Jones trilogy are the three greatest films of all time. All three are masterclass in action and adventure storytelling and have yet to be beat. KotCS is not as horrible as some make out, the middle portion of the movie is pretty good, but from the jungle chase onwards, there's no denying that it became an unintentional comedy. I had high hopes for Dial of Destiny, but unfortunately things are not looking good for it. At least we'll always have the original three to cherish.
@@GhostDiZit’s fun, but to me it kinda feels more like a popcorn action movie with a weaker emotional core (Short Round gives a nice core but Willie is just so annoying)
IMO Raiders is not only the best Indiana Jones film, but it is the best film Spielberg ever made, it is the best adventure film Hollywood ever made, hell it is the best action film ever made. If you ever want an example of how pacing is paramount to filmmaking, watch Raiders.

Arguably so. There are other really great adventure movies which may rival it like King Kong, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, Adventures Of Robin Hood, African Queen, 1940’s Thief Of Baghdad

I saw the anniversary showing of Raiders of the Lost Ark a few weeks ago. It was incredible to see it on the big screen! I shudder to think how bad Indy 5 is gonna be from the trailers & leaks alone... 😥
In 1981 a film reviewer friend of mine said, "You realize that everything in the film would have happened anyway even if Indiana Jones wasn't there?" So years later when the Big Bang Theory did an entire episode around that revelation, I had to laugh because it took so long for anyone to make that point and openly discuss it.
Imagine going back in time and somehow securing the rights for Lucas to do Flash Gordon. You'd be like, "WOW! Flash is a really great film!" Then you'd head back to your original time period and realize, "dammit, there's no Raiders?!" that would SUCK

This movie, more than any other, is stamped on my childhood.
I just watched finished this masterpiece a few minutes ago! This is Still the greatest adventure movie of all time!
I grew up watching Raiders with my dad so many times. I never get tired of watching it.
yesterday i watched Temple of Doom (because it is basically a prequel to Raiders) and i was impressed by how damn good the movie just is. I almost forgot how creative it is.
The original trilogy are my childhood favorite movies!
I still love them to this day.
These movies made Steven Spielberg my favorite Director of all time. Harrison Ford my my favorite actor of all time and Indiana Jones my favorite movie character of all time.
The movie where I fell in love with cinema. I was 11. It's still in my top five movies ever and I've seen many thousands in the 42 years since.
I was 12 and saw Raiders opening week. Still remember the impression it had on me.
6:19 I love that line so much. The fact that Ford improved it because he forgot the actual line just makes it so much better.
I remember seeing this at the cinema when it came out when I was like 10 or so. What a great film and one of the ones that cemented my love of cinema!
I remember my best Friend explaining the start of the movie to me, about the same age.
My jaw hit the floor at the end when the nazis opened the Ark. I felt like I shouldn't be watching it either and yet I could not take my eyes off the screen for pure joy. No film has ever made me feel that way but many have come close.
Back when we still had nice things. ❤

Favorite movie of all time.
This will ALWAYS be a classic. I introduced this to my nephews & they loved it even though they are a Tik Tok generation. Great video!
As much as we greatly enjoy Temple of Doom and Last Crusade, Raiders is as perfect as a movie can get.
One of the movies you can join anytime, and watch unlimited times, but never get bored of it.
The young Indy show is notoriously underrated. They messed it up condensing it for a mini series but still a good watch.

Maybe it's the religious aspect nof it, that really gave it soul. In TOD, the same, spiritualism is apparent. Last crusade, the same.
The truck chase where he's shot in the shoulder was one of the very best action scenes ever. Still is. It still works so, SO well.

Raiders Of The Lost Ark: The Greatest Movie Ever Made
Thank You! It is
If you, unfortunately, have watched the Dial of Destiny, you will need to rewatch this to clean your eyes and soul badly.
One of top 5 enjoyable watches still.
Its the movie poster I have hagging up in my basement theater!
I saw the anniversary showing of Raiders of the Lost Ark a few weeks ago. It was incredible to see it on the big screen! I shudder to think how bad Indy 5 is gonna be from the trailers & leaks alone... 😥
I am about to watch Indy 5 for the first over the weekend, and I cant wait. The trailers look AMAZING! We must have seen different trailers.
This should be called raiders of the lost art of making the movie
Aside from Selleck and Ford, i can really see Nick Nolte really being a really good Indy considering what Lucas and Spielberg was looking for
and as with newer movies made for ‘modern’ audiences , the last two made Temple of Doom, an Empire Strikes Back.
just fyi, for anyone looking, the Akubra Federation 4 fedora is the best bang for buck. safe travels.
I have an Akubra Federation 3 which I got back in 2003. 😊
It truly is an awesome movie!
Romancing the Stone was already written in 1979 before Indiana Jones. It's a misconception that it was a rip-off. I love both movies.
They dont make Perfect 10 movies any more. They just make green screens.
My favorite trilogy
21:09 Really?! I always thought Toht's was the best. Even as a kid, that was muh favorite scene (and it still is).
The scene where Indy shoots the sword person, does any footage of the original scene exist?
Dysyntery: Spielberg wasn't "lucky"--he ate only canned food.
The original trilogy is amazing. Concept of 4 not bad. My opinion.
Temple is beyond overrated. Crystal Skull does so many things better
