I'm a child of the eighties so I grew up with these classics. Dr. Jones was definitely one of the coolest guys from my childhood. I always looked for a hat like his and even practiced with a whip, but to no avail. I can still hear his theme music in my head.
The only person strong enough to play Indy's father was James Bond himself. He was a bit mad to play the dad because the actors are only 12 years apart, but it turned out to be Hollywood magic.
These movies are pretty old now, but they're still fresh and exciting today. Not everyone in my location, Southeast Asia, has had the privilege of watching these gems, so it's fun to show them. They work great for Halloween time too. I still think some scenes look better than the CGI we have today. When I was a boy some of the scenes in Indiana Jones were as scary as the Exorcist to me. I've showed these films to my children and hundreds of students and it scared them too.
List of Indy's Films
Each of the films on this list will link to Amazon if you're interested on watching it there or want to learn more. I personally don't feel the latest movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) deserves to be on the list. It wasn't made in the 1980s, so to me, it never counted anyway. Even Indy's face on the cover is disappointed. I ranked each film from ⭐️ to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars. How would you rank these films?
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom (1984)
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
⭐️
Thanks for looking back on Indiana Jones with me today. I took almost a hundred screenshots while watching these again on my PC, but used only a few. The covers are from Amazon and will link to the films. I really enjoyed watching these again and writing this review. If I ever wake up from a coma and forget everything, please show me these again minus the 2008 version with Transformers boy. What were your favorite Indiana Jones moments? Can you hear the music in your head too?
Random Good Scenes
I orginal posted this with just a few shots, but I changed my mind. Here on some of the screenshots I took while watching all these movies again in no particular order. I'll just show the images without any text so I don't ruin anything.
