Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones films
Any time any Indiana Jones movie is on TV, I stop and watch it. So over the years, I’ve seen bits and pieces of the four films innumerable times. But with James Mangold’s fifth film out this year, I decided to really watch each Spielberg movie from start to finish again. Are these deserved classics? Was there more to discover? And the answer, in all cases, was yes. I found the structure and subtlety of Raiders of the Lost Ark remarkable. I found the big swings of Temple of Doom delightful. I found the humor in Last Crusade hilarious. I even found a few things to like in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The best movies are ones that reward you each time you watch them and Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones films certainly do that. – Germain Lussier
